I think either 15-3 or 14-4, I just don't see many more losses ahead for MSU. We really need Wisconsin to show up at home tomorrow.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:15 PM ^
4 losses maximum. I'm not sure MSU loses 3 more.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:16 PM ^
Last trip to Iowa City (2011-12): 16 point loss
Today: 18 point loss.
WTF games happen even in championship years. Only thing is that that Iowa team in 2011-12 was shit and this one will actually make the postseason.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:16 PM ^
We still control our own destiny too! Win out and Michigan gets at least a share!
February 8th, 2014 at 4:17 PM ^
We control our own destiny as well so I don't think it matters if State does or not
February 8th, 2014 at 4:17 PM ^
We control our destiny as well. If we beat MSU, we are tied in recored but 2-0 against MSU. Do they use tie-breakers for B1G regular season champs?
February 8th, 2014 at 4:18 PM ^
lol
OK, so we're all in agreement then, yes?
February 8th, 2014 at 4:23 PM ^
No. We'd be Co-Champs but we would be the #1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:23 PM ^
I'm sorry but how do people not know this, considering that's exactly what happened two years ago when we won a share of the championship? Not to mention, that's how it's always been since the beginning of time, and it's also how it was in football until a few years ago.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:34 PM ^
There are no tiebreakers for the regular-season title. They only come into play for BTT seeding.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:17 PM ^
Both MSU and M control their own destinies considering they play again later in the season.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:17 PM ^
MSU controlled its own destiny before this game, too. We still control our own destiny for at least a share of the title. Beat MSU on the 23rd and we're sitting pretty good still. Just a tall task.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:18 PM ^
February 8th, 2014 at 4:52 PM ^
Agreed. They already won their close call games. It's really hard to see them losing more than once more the rest of the way.
February 8th, 2014 at 5:50 PM ^
They still have to play Wisconsin, us, and Ohio on the road - that's three very loseable games right there. (They are currently a combined 1-1 against those three, with the one win coming in overtime.) Also, they host Iowa.

February 8th, 2014 at 7:03 PM ^
Most off-base comment ever?
February 8th, 2014 at 4:19 PM ^
I believe we still control our own destiny as well.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:19 PM ^
Michigan controls their own destiny. We need to win on Tuesday. Other than that, I feel pretty good. We've lost 3 games at home in the last 3 seasons.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:19 PM ^
February 8th, 2014 at 4:20 PM ^
February 8th, 2014 at 4:23 PM ^
I hope you didn't hurt yourself doing all of that thinking.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:29 PM ^
The tailspin that ended in a National Champioship game loss? I accept your prediction.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:21 PM ^
Just win and everything else will take care of itself.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:21 PM ^

Staee's schedule is easier. They are in the driver's seat.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:36 PM ^
Disagree. They have to play us in Ann Arbor, OSU in Columbus, Wisconsin in Madison, and Iowa again. That's no easier than what we've got ahead of us.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:35 PM ^
They are just crashing back to earth and meeting everyone's original expectations. If they had McGary it'd be a different story.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:35 PM ^
Do we really have a much harder schedule than them? The only game I see as a possible loss besides the game with them is at Ohio. If we win that game, it will come down to the game at Crisler.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:43 PM ^
We have MSU, Wisconsin, at Ohio, Minnesota, at Illinois, Indiana and at Purdue coming up. We should beat the Badgers and win the four other games outside of Gauntlet # 2.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:45 PM ^
I hope somebody on this thread mentions that UM controls its destiny....
February 8th, 2014 at 4:53 PM ^
In theory, yes, but we all know everybody's got some losses ahead. You can't realistically raise the possibility of winning out and thus not needing help.
February 8th, 2014 at 8:18 PM ^
February 8th, 2014 at 4:54 PM ^
Control is still an option.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:47 PM ^
All I care about is winning on the road Tuesday night. Drop that game and I don't see us winning the B1G title.
February 8th, 2014 at 4:50 PM ^

and are playing better right now than we are.
