Oh Sparty.....
Some guy at Penn State Hershey just discovered a virus that eats cancer. Where were the CNN trucks for that? Now Someone at PSU found something that could cure Leukemia. Coverage? None. THON will probably break $10 mil this year. Put that on "Outside the Lines" you sanctimonious pricks!

Get used to the new reality
The Spartans choking games away is no longer the status quo. Yes, they will lose some close ones, just like everyone does. But I think they deserve a little respect for how they played in the clutch. Even in the Big Ten championship, they made a game out of it to the very end.

The conference really really needs to win these two BCS games.
5 bowl wins with two BCS wins, as well as the B1G runner-up taking down the SEC runner-up would really be an upgrade from the last few years, and much better than things were looking earlier today.

The media always seems to say it’s only the BCS games that matter, so if the B1G wins those, they SHOULD give the conference credit. Of course, they wouldn’t, but that’s beside the point.

Yeah... and I'm not putting too much stock in the losses either.
Penn State already had no QB. Oh, and all that other stuff going on.

That's OK
The B10 team was the underdog in at least 7 of the games. Let the P12 take the heat for sucking this year.
I actually agree. Nebraska played respectably until the 4th quarter. And my Buckeyes…well I didn’t expect much from them. Defense played very well though. I’m glad they didn’t risk getting Braxton killed.
And for what it's worth, the Buckeye d still held Florida's o to over 70 yards below their average.
Lack of o and shitty special teams killed OSU.
But like I said, the thing to take from today is that the talent gap between the SEC and B1G is just about closed.

by Dirty Sanchez on Jan 2, 2012 5:05 PM CST up reply actions
I did
There are other points to be made. More carries don’t always equal more TDs. Sanders didn’t have Russell Wilson.
Stats
Sanders – 344 carries, 2628 yds (7.6 ypc), 37 TD (9.3 cpTD)
Ball – 275 carries, 1759 yds (6.4 ypc), 32 TD (8.6 cpTD)
Sanders was a workhorse so he needed more carries to score. He got a lot more yards along the way.
Record, shmecord
Unless they count the 5 TD that Sanders got in his bowl game, ain’t no record here.

On the bright side
WI’s D shouldn’t get tired sitting on the bench.
That's exactly why I think wisky will have a far greater chance of winning if they slow the game down
The faster they strike, the faster oregon strikes back. They instead should wear down oregon’s D. It’ll come in handy in the 4th.
Ouch

This is Wisconsin's strategy
Make them run 50-90 yard sprints early in the game, tire them out by the end.

WI could have 45 minutes TOP the way they're playing
Eventually OR’s D will just pass out.
And in a quarter and a half, Wisconsin already has more yards on Oregon...

And hell, I’m old enough to remember him from his days at CBS when he hosted the NFL Today. Still love the ’you’re looking live’ calls.

Well.... I think the Big Ten is heading in the right direction at least.
At least it wasn’t one of our classic “Big Ten gets blown out by USC” Rose Bowls.
- Michigan has a sick recruiting class coming in and a much better coach.
- Ohio State will be just fine with Urbz coming in.
- Penn State needs a big name hire and a QB, but should be fine.
- Michigan State is for real and returns their key players from a sick and athletic defense.
- Nebraska will be fine. Taylor Martinez is still only a sophomore, and Rex Burkhead is a junior, and the Huskers return a lot on defense.
If those teams can return to elite form next year, the B1G will be just fine. I hate to concede to the meme, but Wisconsin really needs more speed on defense. That’s the only thing that held them back from being a title contender this year.

Not sure I agree with that Humble
It just would have affected Michigan and 1-2 teams.
Michigan not making a BCS bowl would have made me happy though.
Also, I think this would have been a down year for us even in your scenario.
If you accept his premise
Then you have:
OSU and WI in the BCS
MI/SC Cap 1 – better match-up than for NE?
MSU/GA Outback – same
NE/UF Gator – much better for the B10
That's a weak argument
because a lot of people used that last year, and when Nebraska joined those same folks said ‘now it will be more evenly matched opponents blah blah blah’.
These were fairly even draws, all the way around.
