Nebraska-Wisconsin. 8:00PM EST on FOX. Gus Johnson and Charles Davis are calling the game.
Various sources have the line in favor of Nebraska by 3. If Nebraska wins, Michigan is all but assured the Capital One Citrus Bowl against A&M (likely) or Georgia, while the conversation is a bit more complicated if Wisconsin wins.
So do we care who wins this?
On the surface, no
But I'm pulling for Wisconsin all the same. Got friends from there.
I'm rooting for NU just
I'm rooting for NU just because the whole idea of a 4-4 team winning the conference title, in a year when five (!) league teams had better conference records, is pretty messed up.
If Wisconsin wins, we're in
If Wisconsin wins, we're in the Outback Bowl. If Nebraska wins, we're in the Capital One Bowl. Stay thirsty, my friends.
This is MICHIGAN
I'm gonna vote outback bowl

I hope Nebraska wins. The B1G has endured enough mediocre play and national criticsm for being a weak league as it is. Not that a Nebraska win will change that view, but a Wiscpnsin win will confirm it.
I'm rooting for Wisconsin.
I'm rooting for Wisconsin. Nebraska has received way too many gifts this year. It would just feel wrong if they won.

True, but I was thinking in terms of officiating. Wisconsin didn't have wins handed to them that I saw.

I didn't think the post would generate such discussion. Mgoblog gives me no greater power of positive thought than "Normal." Thus I thought it appropriate given my emphatic agreement with the statement to give normal props.

I don't know if I can watch this. It's too embarrassing for the league. Both of these teams are soooo bad.

It was real difficult just watching that opening hype segment with the Nebraska players puffing out about being champions of the division. If Denard didnt go down, Michigan would be and is a better team. Nebraska is cocky, as usual. Im rooting for Wisconsin.
Unsold tickets
When we make the B1G title game, do you think it would be a de facto home game since apparently no other fans want to go to this game? (unless we play ohio).

Amazing how easy it is to spot empty seats in a blue stadium containing red and white. How embarrassing that almost whole sections are empty.
All the more reason to have the championship game as a home game to the better team.

There is literally NO ONE in the upper bowls at this game.......pathetic. Will it ever sellout without Michigan/OSU?
Nebraska!
I want Nebraska to win. Would rather go to the Capital One Bowl than the Outback Bowl However seeing them in this game is disturbing knowing that we could have potentially been in this game if it weren't due to injury.
We would have been there if
We would have been there if our coaches didn't have our backup QB unprepared to be the backup.
Shooting for Nebraska because I want the Capital One Bowl
but I'm rooting for Wisconsin on the inside. It tears Ohio st fans up inside that the Badgers have won 3 B10 titles in a row. Counting the won they lost in their sanctions.
We hate Michigan State. We don't like Penn State too. We don't care for Minnesota, Wisconsin or Notre Dame but we all hate O-S-U.
