not sure about 3 or 4.....the west is terrible---i don't see any team from there getting in, unless they make the bcg, with one loss---or of course win the game..
OSU and UM for sure....PSU is starting to gain some steam---great recruiting classes. I mean maybe MSU, here and there?
12-team format IMO could become an SEC Invitational. Although the "old blood", LSU, Auburn, Florida's have fallen off.
Our defense sucks. Our offense is good but shoots itself in the foot with dumb penalties all the time. The only way we will win games in the B1G is in shootouts, and Tualia and the WRs ball out.
In the last 20 years Ohio State is 219-30 under Tressel, Urban and Day and won 12 B10 titles, played in 5 NC games, finished in the top 5, 15 times. Clemaon by comparison has finished in the Top 5, 7 times in the history of their program and id wager that number would be at least cut in half if the played in the B1G. So yes it was a troll.
If the 12 team was in place in 2014 when the 4 team started the B1G would have the most team make it by 1 over the SEC. Did you also forget they’ve added USC?
I think we would have made a 12 team playoff half a dozen times or so since then.
Wisconsin would have made it in 2016,17,19
Michigan 2016,18,21
MSU 2014,15,21
PSU 2016,17,18,19
Iowa 2015
Indiana 2020
Why do you pretend to care about other teams schedules, btw?
Even as a Michigan fan I don’t really care if we are playing UConn or Washington in the preseason/non conference. I know we get Penn State, Michigan State, and Ohio State every season.
If that was a barbed troll by him (which is totally within the realm of possibility), I’d hazard a guess it wasn’t about Michigan…
But as you’re referencing, CFB isn’t CBB. There’s not a ton of need to have a good OOC strength of schedule if you’re a power 5 team (and especially a member of the big ten or SEC). Obviously it creates better matchups if power 5 teams are playing each other non-con, but I’d wager most cfb fans are watching each Saturday no matter what the slate looks like.
What a strange response. Why do you think I'm pretending? I hate seeing teams beat up on Little Sisters of the Poor and enjoy exciting games featuring evenly matched teams. Is that really that odd?
I already acknowledged I get the reason. That doesn't diminish the fact that it's more enjoyable to watch good teams play each other.
Everyone is going to watch their team. It's the people without a rooting interest that generates the higher ratings.
If Illinois played evenly matched teams all the time and then win, then we would be blamed for beating Little Sisters of the Poor.
You only need a handful (6-8?) marquee games each Saturday to saturate the market in each viewing slot. And it’s very rare when that threshold isn’t hit. Even last Saturday was a pretty weak slate but there was still enough matchups to make captivating viewing.
Obviously in a perfect world there would be monster out of conference matchups for every power 5 team, but once you get into the range of 15-20 massive games, there’s a little bit of an over saturation for viewers. Also, it’s just not operationally feasible because the group of 5 teams have to build out a schedule (I will fully agree with you that teams should not be playing FCS and below teams).
Thank God the company is called Field of 68 and not Sweet 16 because otherwise they might not have been able to make a Brad Underwood shirt
It’s even better that the nickname came from Michigan podcasters.
There is no current coach who could ever compete with that man in being … this way, lol. Even Tom Crean was at hilarious to observe. 😂I’m getting these vibes
Maybe Holtman will finally have enough talent to not get fellated by Oral Roberts.
Michigan only -16. That's free money for those of you playing at home.
Offense can be pretty good, defense is shit.
gotcha....still---16 seems low. i figure 21+, if not more. I mean UM hasn'y played anyone, but still......
Saw that. Congrats.
Seriously though, I've been torn on wanting him for a while. I think he's too slow but he's a typical UW big.
