Big Ten Finish - predictions
Well, someone asked if I had any thoughts about any other conferences, which made me curious to look into the Big Ten. Here's how I see it playing out.
| Current | |
| Big Ten | Overall |
Wisc | 6-0 | 9-0 |
Michigan | 6-0 | 8-1 |
Iowa | 5-1 | 7-2 |
NW | 4-3 | 5-4 |
osu | 3-3 | 6-3 |
MSU | 3-3 | 4-5 |
Minn | 3-4 | 6-4 |
Purdue | 2-4 | 5-4 |
Indiana | 1-5 | 3-6 |
Illinois | 1-6 | 3-7 |
PSU | 0-6 | 2-7 |

Michigan | NW, @osu | W,W | 8-0 | 10-1 |
Iowa | @Minn, Wisc | L,W | 6-2 | 8-3 |
NW | @Mich, Ill, @Hawaii | L,W,W | 5-3 | 7-5 |
osu | @Minn, Mich | L,L | 3-5 | 6-5 |
MSU | Wisc, @PSU, @Hawaii | L,W,W | 4-4 | 6-6 |
Minn | Iowa | W | 4-4 | 7-4 |
Purdue | osu, Indiana | W,W | 4-4 | 7-4 |
Indiana | PSU, @Purdue | W,L | 2-6 | 4-7 |
Illinois | @NW | L | 1-7 | 3-8 |
PSU | @Indiana, MSU | L,L | 0-8 | 2-9 |
According to my predictions, the final standings will be:
1. Michigan
2. Wisconsin
3. Iowa
4. Northwestern
5. Michigan State, Minnesota, Purdue (and goodluck with that tie breaker)
8. ohio state
9. Indiana
10. Illinois
11. Penn State
Notes:
~ It seems odd that Michigan should ever look at their last two games and worry more about the Northwestern game. Then again, we have beaten osu during our offseasons, so who knows what'll happen.
~ The Wisconsin @ Iowa game should be huge. Wisconsin should be playing to go undefeated in the regular season, and to have a claim to be in the national championship game. Should they win, Michigan could get left out of the BCS, even with a record of 10-1, 8-0 in the Big Ten. If so, the only positive I can bring from that is that the BCS will have mess up again. Bring on a playoff!
~ If Michigan State, Minnesota, and Purdue all tie for 5th, goodluck figuring out that tie break. MSU beat Minn. Minn lost to MSU. Purdue didn't play either of them. So I guess it would go Purdue, MSU, Minn? Or by overall record, it would be Purdue, Minn, MSU? Who knows. (Or who cares...)
