Summer Spoilers - This Year's Five Biggest Big Ten Upsets

The road ends here for one of the Big Ten's national championship hopefuls.
I know, I'm not supposed to be here. But I find myself in need of a football fix after a long day of studying. Since the informal theme of the week seems to be looking ahead at games to circle on the calender, let's talk five upsets just begging to happen.
Note, this isn't a feel good piece. If you prefer to continue to revel in lofty preseason aspirations, be my guest. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
Here are five big upsets on the horizon.
Week 1 - Connecticut 34, Michigan 31 (September 4)
In the wake of Appalachian State and Utah, it seems a bit anticlimactic to pick the Wolverines to drop their third opener in four years. But Randy Edsall is bringing an up-tempo, no-huddle offense to town that averaged 31 points a game in 2009. Sure that was against Big East defenses. What do you think Michigan's running?
The nail in the coffin: Greg Robinson's 3-3-5 boasts a secondary that can't get into R-Rated movies. They're really that young. Huskies quarterback Zach Frazer had a golden gun down the stretch in 2009. Four starters back on UConn's offensive line means the Huskies dominate the Wolverines in the trenches.
This one turns into a shootout in the third quarter, and UConn pulls the pin on the Rich Rodriguez grenade.
Payback is a bitch.
Iowa fans have been playing with fire for the past two seasons. They're about to get burned. A lot of pundits see the Hawkeyes slipping up in week three at Arizona. I think the national championship hopefuls escape Tuscon, but fall well short of last year's 9-0 mark.
The nail in the coffin: A young offensive line hangs Ricky Stanzi out to dry. Adrian Clayborn and Evan Royster trade punches for most of the night before a late Stanzi interception sets up the go ahead touchdown.
Did you really think they'd beat them three times in a row?
Week 7 - Ohio State 17, Wisconsin 24 (October 16)
This one has Gameday written all over it. A 6-0 Buckeye squad should make the trip to Madison to face a 6-0 Badger unit. Ohio State will be the clear favorite, having earned a decisive win over Miami (FL) in Week 2. They'll be lots of comparisons to the 2006 team. Terrelle Pryor as Troy Smith, DeVier Posey as Ted Ginn Jr...
But something just won't click that night at Camp Randall. Scott Tolzien will lead the Badgers on an opening touchdown drive, and the Buckeyes won't ever recover.
The nail in the coffin: Almost a year to the day after last year's disaster at Purdue, the ghosts of inconsistency will rattle Terrelle Pryor and his second trip to Madison will end very differently than his first.
Not so fast...
Clayborn contains John Clay, and the Badger attack stalls, setting up an Independence Day showing for Ricky Stanzi.
The nail in the coffin: Iowa's defensive line bottles up the Badgers, and the Big Ten race becomes a cluster down the stretch.
Week 11 - Michigan 27, Purdue 33 (November 13)
There's a bit of bad blood between Rich Rodriguez and Danny Hope, and I think the Boilermakers capitalize off of their home field advantage. Quarterback Robert Marve and wide receiver Keith Smith continue to make names for themselves against a Michigan secondary that by now is ranked in the bottom 20 percent nationally.
The nail in the coffin: It's not like Purdue's pass defense is much better. But Ryan Kerrigan explodes for 2-sacks and a forced fumble, and Stephen Schilling and center David Molk can't eclipse the Boilermaker's run defense.

Another nitpick
Ohio State and Wisconsin cannot sport records better than 6-0 coming into their matchup. Although I guess the Buckeyes could be 7-0 if the NCAA decides to give them credit for a win this season since USC cheated to beat OSU last year.

A young offensive line hangs Ricky Stanzi out to dry.
You mean they didn’t do that with disastrous consequences against Northwestern? (disastrous consequences, i.e., losing a starting QB RIGHT BEFORE the pivotal game in Ohio Stadium)
by OBrienSchofieldismyHero on Jul 15, 2010 6:06 AM CDT reply actions
What offensive line?
When you have the chance to naked bootleg your QB in your own endzone directly into an All-Conference caliber defensive end, you have to take it….
The fact that Iowa was PASSING out of its own endzone indicates the offensive coordinator fell asleep at the wheel...

Not to hate on KOK, but I think he plays a drinking game, where for every pass in which Ricky Stanzi doesn’t throw a pick, he takes a shot of Absolut. I could be wrong.
Me gustan los estados unidos.
You would have picked....
….Iowa 17, Northwestern 24, but that’s hardly an upset anymore….more like the expected, typical outcome.
The upset would be if Iowa finally beats Northwestern. I guess no one is crazy enough to make that pick.
You should go to Vegas and bet everything you've got on that game.

Iowa fans hate losing to jNW
but not nearly as much as the idiotic perception that they lose to them every year. Last 4 meetings: jNW 3, Iowa 1, which must “prove” the point. Last 8: 4-4 Last 12: 5-7, oh! There’s that “proof” again! Last 16: 8-8. Northwestern statistical prowess will be befuddled if I go back any further, needless to say it’s not pretty. Does Iowa lose to jNW more than they’d like? Absolutely. I’d also say Iowa loses to Ohio State more than they’d like. Does OSU own Iowa? Yes. Does jNW? I guess, in the same way that my wife “owns” my house…

Disagree
As an Iowa fan, the PSU game scares me a lot less than a few of our other earlier contests. You mentioned at Arizona and frankly, after the way we performed at ASU a few years back, there is a precedent to be concerened about.
But if you are looking for one in Big Ten play, the trip to Ann Arbor is the one everyone is thinking about. Michigan could easily have beaten us last year and we all saw the spring game where Denard Robinson looked like he was suddenly Troy Smith (or something like that). Frankly, if we get upset in Big Ten play (an by that I mean lose to anyone other than OSU or Wis.) I think Michigan is more likely than Penn State.
http://victorypolka.blogspot.com/
Many PSU fans have been pointing to Michigan as a potential upset as well.
I just don’t see it. They will continue to be awful. I hope they beat ND, but other than that, I don’t see much to be hopeful for in Ann Arbor.

Take it from someone whose favorite team inexcusably melted down in Ann Arbor...
You NEED to close out Michigan at Michigan. MSU did it. Illinois did it. And Penn State did it not so long ago. But you NEED to play all four quarters.
And you need to have a competent QB. M*****i or Ev***** won’t get it done. Chr********* won’t get it done either.

Penn State isn't that far removed from an epic 12 game (or something close to that) losing streak to Michigan.
So we’re aware of what it takes. But we have a decent amount of momentum against Michigan built up, and Michigan is Michigan right now. RichRod will find a way to lose.

Just don't fall asleep at the wheel in the second half...
Or allow a long interception returned for a touchdown. Or fumble a billion times in the red zone. But get all the interceptions you can get out of Michigan. Beat the heck out of that Michigan offensive line (they HAVE one?). Just thrash them so that they toss their remaining home games out the window…
by OBrienSchofieldismyHero on Jul 15, 2010 10:14 AM CDT up reply actions
Really?
I think Michigan is going to be shampoo-drinkingly awful this year, thanks to a dreadful defense. Like last year, their offense will be OK, but not good enough to dig them out of the 30-point holes the defense puts them in.
by newenglandnittanylion on Jul 15, 2010 10:13 AM CDT up reply actions
However
Considering Iowa’s offense hasn’t found that one running back that usually makes the system work (you know, the one we never had last year) I question our offense. I don’t doubt that Stanzi, DJK, and McNutt could drop 35 points on that god awful secondary, but I have a funny feeling they will be able to move the ball as well and if we don’t run the ball consistently and let our defense rest we could be in trouble.
But I could also see us giving them a 2002 type game so really I honestly have no idea what will happen.

With Wisconsin, Iowa, and OSU all sporting one loss, and PSU still undefeated in conference play. Unless, of course, you see Penn State dropping games to Illinois and/or Minnesota in weeks 6 and 8.

Minnesota routinely comes out of nowhere with an inexcusable win (i.e., last year vs. Northwestern)
But if JoePa and the Lions lose THAT game, I’ll laugh my head off. Nothing short of 2004 quarterbacking will kill the Nittany Lions…

Then again, the last time I got really into playing NCAA Football, somewhere around season 12 of my dynasty had the MAC take over as the dominant conference in college football. I couldn’t quite comprehend why Buffalo and Miami (OH) became the dominant national powers.
They scooped up all the prospects Iowa missed, and all the Iowa State transfers...

by OBrienSchofieldismyHero on Jul 15, 2010 10:40 AM CDT up reply actions
The probable reason there were so many Iowa State transfers is because the Hawkeyes established a reign of domininance
That included final scores of 63-0, 32-0, 54-0, and 84-2, with the Hawkeyes always winning.

If this scenario plays out
I think we’d have a 3-way tie for the Big Ten title, with PSU (loss to OSU), Wisconsin (loss to Iowa), and the winner of the OSU-Iowa game all finishing 7-1. In that scenario (er, those two scenarios), who gets the auto BCS bid?
by newenglandnittanylion on Jul 15, 2010 11:43 AM CDT reply actions
Assuming
that all three teams finish otherwise undefeated, I believe the applicable tiebreaker is highest BCS ranking – yes, we’ve adopted to ill-considered tiebreaker that caused the Big XII so much angst two years ago. Though, I’ll defer certainty on this until Bama weighs in, as he seems to have the rules down much better than I could ever hope to.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Actually....
….with the Big Ten, any team that avoided playing any FCS schools would be ahead of the others, I think.
Another tie-breaker (not sure in what order they come) is “who went to the Rose Bowl the longest time ago” — it was in play in 2000, for example, when Michigan-Purdue-Northwestern all tied for the Big Ten championship (and NU beat Michigan who beat Purdue who beat NU, so there was no head-to-head overall winner). Because Purdue had been out of the Rose Bowl the longest (NU was there in 1995, Michigan in 1997?), Purdue got the Rose Bowl bid. (I’m not sure how that works with extra-BCS bids — does Iowa’s last year count, for example?)
So, if Iowa’s Orange Bowl appearance doesn’t count for purposes of the auto-bid, I think they’d go over PSU or Wisconsin, who have both made a Rose Bowl since Iowa last appeared. If the Iowa Orange Bowl DOES count, then the bid would go to Wisconsin….
I found
this on the Big Ten website. I think we’d have to resort to rules B(5)© and B(5)(d):
“c. If three teams are still tied, and there is a tie game between two of the three teams, or if two or all three of the teams did not play each other, the representative shall be determined on a percentage basis of all games played.”
This would mean looking to the non-conference slate. There is nothing in here about playing FCS schools, but I seem to remember that those wins are not counted. In that case, the winner of Iowa-Ohio State would get the bid, since neither one plays an FCS school, while both PSU and Wisconsin do.
by newenglandnittanylion on Jul 15, 2010 5:59 PM CDT up reply actions
Iowa plays an FCS team
Eastern Ilinois, first game of the season.
ALso, I’m pretty sure it’s impossible for Iowa-Ohio State-Wisconsin-PSU to all finish with only one loss. Iowa and OSU play the other 3 while PSU and Wisky do not play each other.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Based on the lines I saw
None of these would be huge upsets. Michigan is a 3pt favorite over UConn only because it’s at the Big House and Michigan-Purdue is an even toss-up. Now if you can look at the Minnesota roster and their schedule and tell me where the win is in Big Ten play, that’ll be an upset…
Fuck tOSU
I hopre you´re wrong about Ohio State
because, after last year´s Bowl Season the pundits who aren´t total morons have the Big Ten back as 2nd in the overall conference pecking order (pretty sure we never left, but that´s another story)
A few key OOC wins, Ohio State winning the National Title, and another strong bowl season will cement the Big Ten as the #1 conference.
Imagine is Ohio State beat Nebraska for the National Title? Then there would be no question about Big Ten supremacy. And frankly, I´m sick and tired of everyone worshipping a vastly overrated SEC (or Big 2, average 3, and lil´ 7)
Calling it now
Purdue over Ohio State in the ‘shoe. I can’t figure out why we play them so tough, but Ryan Kerrigan has proved he owns Terrelle Pryor.
A futile crusade to prevent mass ignorance
HammerAndRails, SBNation's Boilermaker Blog
Ryan Kerrigan owned Pryor's face off last year...
Providing the Puirdue defense holds Ohio State’s offense to all of thirteen points, and the Purdue offense doesn’t throw two interceptions returned for touchdowns or give up a kick return for a touchdown, well…

You may avenge your loss, perhaps, but we have always played OSU tough in the Horseshoe. We just can’t score any points! LOL
If we had Ralph Bolden in the mix this year I’d feel better about our chances, but even then I still think this is going to be a good game. Its in Columbus so you have the edge, but don’t write us off just yet.
We ALWAYS have the edge my friend
Congrats on the win last year. Nobody can take that away (even if that KC4 strip for a legit fumble was literally picked up by the ref, gift wrapped with a nice pretty bow, and given back to your offense) At the end of the day tho, that game was a fluke…..

Another Nitpick for you
Penn State will have trouble upsetting Iowa on September 18 as the Hawkeyes will be in Arizona that weekend. Although, I’m sure Kent State would be very happy if the Lions were in Iowa City, looking around with puzzled expressions on their faces. The subsequent forfeit loss to the Golden Flashes may be the incident that forces JoePa to finally retire, as the mix-up will undoubtedly be chalked up as a “senior moment.”
One thing you got correct: NOT predicting a jNW upset over Iowa. I think the Hawkeyes finally take the Wildcats on a long overdue trip to the woodshed this year.
"In case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic!" - Homer Simpson
Oh Yeah
Destroying those god damn kittens in front of a whopping 9,000 jNWU fans would be the greatest thing ever

Why yes, yes I do believe the Iowa Hawkeyes beat Penn. State 3 times in a row
"You know, we always called each other good fellas. Like you said to, uh, somebody, :You're gonna like this guy. He's all right. He's a good fella. He's one of us.: You understand? We were good fellas. Wiseguys."
Sorry to nitpick but...
“Week 7 – Ohio State 17, Wisconsin 24 (October 16)
This one has Gameday written all over it. A 6-0 Buckeye squad should make the trip to Madison to face a 6-0 Badger unit"

Assuming neither Texas nor Nebraska has more than 1 loss at this point, GameDay will be all over Lincoln for the “final meeting (maybe) between the Longhorns and Cornhuskers”. The revenge/general hatred between the two schools from expansionapalooza all but guarantees a visit by ESPN.
