B1G West Update
Good news: you no longer need to care.*
With the win over PSU, tie breaker scenarios involving the B1G West are out the window. Regardless of next week’s outcome, the B1G East championship will be entirely based on the outcome of The Game.
*I suppose if you want to know who we’ll play in Indy, you could watch more B1G West games, but yuck.

It would be hilarious if OSU lost to MSU.
November 11th, 2023 at 4:06 PM ^
Do we dare to dream of this scenario? Break out the drooling Homer gif.
November 11th, 2023 at 4:07 PM ^
No way … that privilege is ours when we FUCKING BEAT THEM INTO OBLIVION
November 11th, 2023 at 4:29 PM ^
I used to think that. Now my opinion is that I want them to lose every game and shut down their football program from shame. I used to want a fun competitive game. Now I just want them to feel pain. They made this personal, so let's root for them to suffer personally.
November 11th, 2023 at 5:10 PM ^
I have wanted OSU to lose every game since my freshman year. Now I want it even more.
November 11th, 2023 at 7:28 PM ^
When dealing with a juggernaut you need others to not piss down their leg. Frames throwing 42 times, Rutgers passing after getting 6 per carry etc.
You cant take a dynasty down with 1 loss regular seasons. You want them to crumble and watch recruiting start to match your on field results.
November 11th, 2023 at 4:14 PM ^
Sadly the chances of MSU shocking OSU in the Shoe are about as great as Mel Tucker keeping his pants on during a FaceTime call
November 11th, 2023 at 4:46 PM ^
I heard he cuts the pocket liner out of his pants so he can keep them on.
November 11th, 2023 at 7:26 PM ^
Oh man that would be a double win for us because MSU would probably remove the interim tag on Barnett on the spot
November 11th, 2023 at 4:06 PM ^
The West winner will be like this game: no offense, stout defense, slowly ground them into submission and go home.
Or a blowout if it's not literal Iowa after we played Iowa facsimile today.
November 11th, 2023 at 4:10 PM ^
Iowa with a finished basement.
November 11th, 2023 at 4:11 PM ^
Well, I was watching Tennessee Mizzou and Washington Utah but decided to flip over to Iowa Rutgers.
November 11th, 2023 at 4:14 PM ^
Why be so hard on yourself
November 11th, 2023 at 4:17 PM ^
I don't know. After two or three more celebratory beers, it might be fun.
November 11th, 2023 at 4:32 PM ^
If you were doing a shot every 6 and out, you'd already be drunk.
November 11th, 2023 at 5:18 PM ^
I opened (and then drank) a beer every tv timeout. I’m not sure I can watch a Fax nooner anymore.
November 11th, 2023 at 4:43 PM ^
Was just watching R00I only to realize it is on the conference network. F them
November 11th, 2023 at 4:21 PM ^
Yes! We can root for Chaos scenarios now. I think the 7-way tie is dead, but a 4 or 5 way sounds good to me.
(Came here to post the same thing)
November 11th, 2023 at 4:22 PM ^
The only way The Game isn’t for the B1G East is…If OSU loses to both MSU tonight and Minny (also in Columbus) next week.
November 11th, 2023 at 4:36 PM ^
Your terms are acceptable.
November 11th, 2023 at 4:33 PM ^
Amazingly, Northwestern is currently killing Wisconsin at Wisconsin.
November 11th, 2023 at 4:59 PM ^
ODDly, Northwestern has been winning their even number games. This is their 10th game, and they’re winning. Last week, they lost at Iowa in their 9th. Next week they have Purdue.
November 11th, 2023 at 4:35 PM ^
I know this a bit of a tangent. Regarding tonight’s B1G East game in Columbus - I’ll be cheering hard for the meteor.
November 11th, 2023 at 4:35 PM ^
F the big ten west , f the big ten in General
November 11th, 2023 at 4:37 PM ^
What Petitty deserves:
The B1G West will end with a 6-way tie for first at 4–5.
The B1G will send a team with a losing record to its championship game.
Michigan will be 12–0, and with its CFP spot assured, will sit out the championship game in protest, costing the conference millions. Its win in The Game this year will end up being its last Big Ten game ever.
November 11th, 2023 at 5:33 PM ^
I've opposed most of the "sit out in protest" ideas but I kinda like this one, assuming the cfp spot is assured
November 11th, 2023 at 6:09 PM ^
I’m with you, but I’d hate to not have that priceless moment where the Pettite has to hand the trophy to Harbaugh.
November 11th, 2023 at 6:53 PM ^
If Michigan beats OSU for the East division title, I wouldn’t be surprised if Petitti declares Michigan ineligible to play in the conf championship game for more bogus “sportsmanship” reasons.
November 11th, 2023 at 7:27 PM ^
I got the same thought after reading that the B1G reserves the right to further suspend Michigan for SignGate
November 11th, 2023 at 8:05 PM ^
In a way, do we even care? I mean conference titles are nice but outside of that, what do we have to gain by playing some garbage team from the west? Best care scenario we win easily as expected. Worst case scenario we win easily and someone gets hurt.
November 11th, 2023 at 4:45 PM ^
Come on Minnesota.
November 11th, 2023 at 4:57 PM ^
LOLOL Rutgers @ Iowon't.
3-0 in the final seconds of the 1st half.
November 11th, 2023 at 4:59 PM ^
Fuck the Big Ten and every team in it.
November 11th, 2023 at 5:21 PM ^
Except for Michigan…
November 11th, 2023 at 5:46 PM ^
Iowa will win this game either 6-0 or 9-0, with an outside chance at 13-0. Nice effort, Schiano. You absolute turd.
November 11th, 2023 at 6:31 PM ^
Northwestern is currently thumping Wisconsin, in Madison, worse than OSU beat them. Nice tuff win, Bucks.
November 11th, 2023 at 6:55 PM ^
If I were a Wisconsin fan, I’d be screaming for Fickell’s hide. They should not be losing to NW in Camp Randall.
November 11th, 2023 at 8:52 PM ^
Time to call it: Iowa is a legit team. And without Cade or All.
November 12th, 2023 at 8:11 AM ^
Ehhhh they’re half a legit team.
November 12th, 2023 at 12:23 AM ^
B1G West is ass. Iowa will get slaughtered in the B1G Championship game because their offense stinks out loud.
November 12th, 2023 at 1:57 AM ^
its gonna be Iowa
