How Michigan can be Big Ten Co-Champs
This scenario is very unlikely to happen but you never know with college football!
AFAIK all the records are correct. Illinois plays Fresno State in Week 14 and I picked Illinois to win that.
Chart:
| Team | Current | Week 11 | Week 12 | Week 13 | Final Record |
| Ill | 5-4 (3-3) | Minnesota | Northwestern | Bye | 8-4 (5-3) * # |
| Ind | 4-5 (0-5) | Wisconsin | Penn State | Purdue | 6-6 (2-6) |
| Iowa | 7-2 (4-1) | Northwestern | Ohio State | Minnesota | 8-4 (5-3) * # |
| Mich | 6-3 (2-3) | Purdue | Wisconsin | Ohio State | 9-3 (5-3) * |
| MSU | 9-1 (5-1) | Bye | Purdue | Penn State | 9-3 (5-3) * |
| Minn | 1-9 (0-6) | Illinois | Bye | Iowa | 2-10 (1-7) |
| NW | 6-3 (2-3) | Iowa | Illinois | Wisconsin | 7-5 (3-5) |
| OSU | 8-1 (4-1) | Penn State | Iowa | Michigan | 9-3 (5-3) * |
| PSU | 6-3 (3-2) | Ohio State | Indiana | Michigan State | 8-4 (5-3) * # |
| Pur | 4-5 (2-3) | Michigan | Michigan State | Indiana | 5-7 (3-5) |
| Wisc | 8-1 (4-1) | Indiana | Michigan | Northwestern | 9-3 (5-3) * |
The Team listed in Bold for each week is the winner of the game, so if your teams row shows two bolded teams you will have lost two games. If you have no bolded games you won the rest of your games.

Do flying pigs chirp like birds, oink like pigs, or some combination of both? My toddler would like to know . . .

A- for effort

my hope into 2011.

Wait wouldn't we also be eliminated from rose bowl selection due to tiebreaker since we'd have the same record as MSU and we lost to em, just saying. I'd be more than happy for that scenario to play itself out though

No because Michigan State does not play Ohio State so any head to head matchup cannot eliminate anyone.
If MSU Michigan and Wisconsin all played Ohio State and beat them and somehow all beat Ohio State... Ohio State would be eliminated for losing to all opponents. Then Wisconsin would be eliminated for losing to Michigan and MSU, then Michigan would be eliminated for losing to MSU. But since Ohio State and MSU do not play they cannot be eliminated so no teams are eliminated. The tiebreaker is BCS ranking

It's great if the possibility exists - right now I just want to win more games - we beat Purdue and we're playing with house money in the last two - and Wiscy and OSU better be worried.

Can you map out how the basketball team wins the Big 10 next? I will sleep much better.

Nobody has ever won outright or a share of the Big 10 championship with a 5-3 conference record. Nobody. Ever.
Is jamiemac giving odds on this scenario?

There is no way, shape, or form that Purdue will beat MSU. I'm not trying to be a downer, but if people expect UM to go to Purdue and win but then expect that same Purdue team to go to MSU and win, that is an incredibly tall order and a bit of cognitive dissonance. If this team can finish 2-1, they will be 4-4 in the Big 10 and have more wins in the conference than the past two years combined. That is a win in my book.

it did make me smile.
And while we're making our own sunshine, you may as well bold the PSU game against tUoOS.

Shit people. This is the most FUN we have had watching football in 2 years. I am going to enjoy the moment. I think the possibilities of BigTen Chmpshp. are slim to none, but who cares. Nobody was picking us to be contenders this year anyway. 8-4, 9-3. They would both exceed expectations of most. Everyone but RR and any member of that team anyway. Now, enjoy the ride
