Lets revisit an old thread - CFB game simulator
Before the MSU game a while back, we had some fun with a game simulator. With it being the week that it is, thought it would be good to revisit that. I had to run 9 simulations before getting OSU to come out as winners. Give it a try!

Interesting.
The average score is Ohio State (2019): 19.7 - Michigan (2019): 25.7, decided by < 5 pts 1053 times (20.8%).
In 5079 simulations, Michigan won 64.1% of the time.
I had the "home field advantage" radio button selected, by the way.
My official prediction for The Game?
Michigan - 28
Ohio State - 26
I think we get it done this time...but we'll be sweating it out until the clock reads 0:00, with our defense on the field to end it.

What about the Big Ten Ref FanBoyz button?

don't select "Home Field Advantage" or be prepared for BPONE

My favorite part of the simulation:
OSU won by >20 points 7.7% of the time, while Michigan won by >20 points 22.5% of the time.

It's fun to do this with play-by-play on. Especially since they include false start penalties and such.

Refs are not fun for this game.

I only had to run it once for OSU to win 20-17... :(

This might be one scenario that you don't have to be 100% honest to us.......
You can "bend" the truth a bit

The second time I simmed it, OSU won 44-3, and I felt sick. Michigan won easily all the other 7 or 8 clicks though. That pretty much sums up how I feel about the Game this year, we should win, barring that one in ten game where everything goes wrong.

I got 20-16, M>OSU

I like the custom logos/emoticons d8-)

Talk about a nightmare. I just read a very plausible play by play for 24- 17 Ohio State Victory.
What happens: We hold Dobbins and the Ohio State Run game to below average yards but Dwayne Haskins manages to make some good throws - resulting in 24 points for the bad guys.
Meanwhile Michigan gets bogged down in/at the edge of the red zone and on top of that the simulation has Quinn Nordin as the kicker and furthermore has him flaking out twice. Hopefully we go with our new kicker.
Yikes the next Simulation has Ohio winning again 20-16. Maybe this simulation isn't for me.

I'm liking this page
(with home crowd advantage)

That would be fine, as would 42-7 for the third time this season.

First one not so good with Dobbins 187yds rushing in an OSU win. The next three were much better 24-0 Michigan, 15-14 and 44-16. I'd like to see the 24 point win in a shut out over a 28 point win, not sure my nerves can handle 15-14.
