Sure, now Illinois decides to play to their potential.
Michigan is now 9-3 in their last 12 games. And they've been outscored by 32 points in those 12 games. That is an insane statistic.
Sparty is gonna fvck around and win the B1G by 2-3 games and still not have anyone on the 1st or 2nd team All B1G.

Why is Texas A&M 11 spots higher than Oregon?
TAMU is 20-9, Oregon is 21-8, Oregon beat them ooc ( I know not a direct data point), Oregon is 8-6 Q1 vs 6-7 for TAMU

What's funny is for UM, it's Breslin for how much more juiced up the crowd gets.
If you look at MSUs student section from the late 90s through the 2000s (I was there during the Drew Neitzel era) it was truly elite of the elite.
Nowadays it is still really good but not what it once was.
I have not been in every arena but have been in most and would say Mackey is the loudest. Smaller round building with metal dome roof and concrete stands with solid surface seats is perfect for echo. I have been there mostly at it's loudest for IU games but also attended both league and non-con games with my kid as a student. Can't imagine a concert in there.
Will be interesting to see who ends up on the 1st team. My guess is:
Smith (POY)
Tonje
Brice Williams
Garcia
Bailey
I think TKR deserves to be 1st team but don’t see them picking 2 guys from a team that didn’t win the conference tbh.

I don’t think they’ll put 3 guys on the team whose teams couldn’t even finish .500 in the league.
