Both MSU and OSU are on the road. What makes you think after yesterday that we could go on the road and beat either of those teams? Maybe, just maybe OSU since Hoke does wake this team up for that game. If OSU's line hasn't improved much by then and if Barrett is still average, we've got a shot, but MSU is going to slaughter us. They're going to save all their anger and frustration from this past weekend specifically for that game.

posts by you where you weren't talking about how great MSU is.
I don't like that, sir.
Not one bit.
(the whiny bitch post was damn good, though).
September 7th, 2014 at 11:18 PM ^
Again, I hate being so pessimistic, but what reason has this team given me, or any one of us, to be optimistic?

more than anything else.
But, if I was to choose a potential winner, I'll go with Indiana.
Because Indiana isn't Ohio or Michigan State.

is the part where you said "probably" wishful thinking.
September 8th, 2014 at 1:20 AM ^
I hope our team has saved some fire also not only for this past weekend but for all the weekends MSU has taken from us over these last few meetings.
September 8th, 2014 at 8:47 AM ^
But our offensive line was completely overmatched by ND's D-line and their secondary was flying all over the field harassing our receivers and making plays. Sound like any other defense we might be facing later this season?
September 7th, 2014 at 10:10 PM ^
It was always going to be MSU. Braxton Miller's injury just seals it.
September 7th, 2014 at 10:11 PM ^
I think Wisconsin could challenge MSU, but MSU would still beat them. Wisconsin is completely one dimensional and MSU would stack the box to stop Gordon. I'd rather not see MSU win back to back titles, so if we can't win it, I'm hoping someone unexpected can win it. Maybe Minnesota or, heaven forbid, Indiana. The Big Ten's perception can't get any worse, so what difference does it make if either of those teams win it all? Besides, it'd be nice to finally see one of them break through after decades of futility and ineptitude. Especially for Jerry Kill.

I think pain will win the B1G.
September 7th, 2014 at 10:44 PM ^
Most likely WI vs MSU. I don't care who wins. Neither team will be in contention for the playoff spots. B1G looks really pathetic! It would be an easy pickin's year for Michigan if they were a good team.
September 7th, 2014 at 10:50 PM ^
They hung with Oregon in Eugene for most of the game. If not them, then probably Wisconsin, who should have beaten LSU. Everyone else looks very shaky, including OSU whose offense has been nearly as ugly as ours and whose defense is still pretty lame.

Purdue.

than the rest of the conference. It's the exact opposite of Michigan right now
September 7th, 2014 at 11:22 PM ^
September 7th, 2014 at 11:29 PM ^
Their half of the conference is a disaster; they've got a lot more room for error than MSU or anyone in the east. Which means they've got a full season to work out their quarterback issues.
I don't even think they'll be favored in the title game, but they're a lot more likely than anyone else to get there and I'd write lower odds on them winning it than anyone else.

It doesn't mattter. I can't wait for Brandon to sky write this year.
September 7th, 2014 at 11:47 PM ^
I took the time to watch mostly all of the MSU and Oregon game. I don't think there is any question that Sparty is the best in a historically bad conference.

"you know that really hot girl in our English class? Now that I know she'll never go out with me, who do you think she'll go out with?"
All I know is the answer is "someone else/I don't give a shit."
EDIT: on second thought, a B1G title is not a hot girl at this point. It's a mid-major girl, kinda nice and you know her from way back when you were growing up, but you hope you don't run into your friends when you're out with her. Which you don't have to worry about this year anyway, because obviously.

At this point, I am thinking everyone ties for last place. But my attitude will be better next week after a cupcake feast.

I have seen ZERO that gives me any hope that this Staff has a clue. I had the domer game as a pivotal early season game and we embarrasssed ourselves. We will know very soon whether these kids will play for Hoke. It obvious, they are learning very little. Same mistakes, no adjustment over and over and over and over and over. Its sick.
September 8th, 2014 at 7:25 AM ^
If Wisconsin finds a QB they win the conference championship, otherwise I'm sticking with MSU
September 8th, 2014 at 8:44 AM ^
Michigan State clearly looks like the team to beat at this point. That said, no team appears to be invincible and the conference is a non-factor in the playoff conversation this year.
September 8th, 2014 at 9:02 AM ^
I think nobody. We should just call it good this season after Saturday. We can split the trophy into 14 pieces and hand them out as participation medals.
As an aside, I'm glad we have Miami (OH) next week because (a) we probably won't lose and (b) we can use it to get Gardner's confidence back.
September 8th, 2014 at 9:13 AM ^
I don't think they have the pure talent to compete against the elite teams, but nobody in the B1G is elite. I'm not sure how much better Barrett is going to get at OSU, but my guess is not enough to beat MSU.
Other than that, Wisconsin has a decent chance, but I'd (sadly) put my money on MSU.
September 8th, 2014 at 10:07 AM ^
It will be a barnburner. Minnesota beats Maryland in the B1G Championship game in front of 37,500.
