wins that game the last 10 years of Big Ten sucks rhetoric will be effectively over.
Other teams played in bowl games too. Wisconsin beat Auburn and Sparty beat Baylor...
the narrative still seems to be the SEC is the premier conference, with the B1G consisting of OSU and everyone else..
I would really like to see Wisconsin win this game.
Yeah, but we've got to string a few of these together. The SEC won all those championships in a row and they always win games like this Wisc-Alabama game.
They earned it. They get to be top dog until somebody knocks them off.
Wisconsin almost did it last year to LSU. Maybe they've learned something they can use this year.
Wisky lost a couple dlineman to injury during that game and after they went out, the LSU running game started to take over.
Ohio State won the National Championship last season and before they throttled Wisconsin in the B1G Championship Game, they were looking like the bubble team that would be left out of the playoff.
Hell, a big reason why OSU is a huge favorite to make it back to the playoffs this season is because their regular season schedule is such a joke. The B1G can start to change this narrative by actually beating some OOC teams in September.
No. The Big Ten did not win a title. OSU won a title.

It doesn't mean B1G schools should celebrate...but yes, the Big Ten conference won a National Championship. And they'll have it in their record books at their conference off and they'll most definitely celebrate it - as they should.
Notice, I said they and not "we."
Michigan is part of the B1G, it is not the B1G. That is a seperate office and organization and they did win a National Championship last year. The SEC, Big XII, ACC, etc. did not.
Granted, we can't ever expect Minnesota, Illinois, Purdue, etc. to be consistently relevant on a national scale, but when Penn State, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nebraska begin to pull their own weight, we might start hearing the end of it.

Week 2 --- 99% chance it's Oregon @ Michigan State.
Week 3 gets interesting. I think Ole Miss/Alabama (ESPN night game), Auburn/LSU (CBS 3:30), Stanford/USC (ABC Prime Time Game) and Georgia Tech/Notre Dame (NBC) all have a chance.
I would imagine it would be stanford/USC that week since its a rivalry and on ABC but espn does love the SEC
MSU is AT Oregon...but I agree on the matchup choice!
that was a tough loss
Michigan is the only team that gets royally screwed played road rivals twice in a row
that historic Michigan State v. Oregon rivaly game. You can throw the record books out the window when these two get together...
But I get your point.
when National Powers collide...
but I am DOUBLY SURE MSU is AT Oregon...but I agree on the matchup choice!

Game is at Spartan Stadium. It has already been confirmed for a 8pm start too.
Aww that's cute....BUT IT'S WRONG!!
the /s by mistake. It was intended to be a joke similar to Michigan having to play at MSU two years in a row.
I fail at sarcasm daily.

MOAR Cowbell!
it's Ole Miss/Bama since they'll have just done the Bama/Wisky game a couple weeks earlier. They generally try to mix up the teams, and Bama might be in bigger games later in the year (LSU, Auburn) that would attract Game Day.

Why? Texas is light years behind Wisconsin.
Seems odd they're having it in Fort Worth. Downtown Fort Worth is a solid 20 mins away from Jerryworld in Arlington. That'd be like College Gameday for Mich-OSU live from Novi.
Fort Worth with have fans and other people around Sundance Square all week, including a lot of the fans going to the game that Saturday night. The stadium in Arlington will have an empty parking lot with little going on until closer to gametime. I'm glad they picked Ft Worth again - it's a great backdrop since they renovated the Square.

9/12
Oregon St at Michigan - Noon. Harbaugh's first home game and all that goes with it
Oregon at MSU -8pm.
Any chance ESPN does Gameday from Ann Arbor then pulling up stake and doing all of their evening/late night stuff from East Lansing?

won't do it but it would actually be kind of a cool idea to do a double set Game Day. Granted, OSU(not that OSU) v. Michigan does not have the national implications but the Harbaugh story is compelling and you got the State of Oregon v. the State of Michigan element. They have probably not had many opportunities to do something like that and you know how ESPN wants to be so cutting edge.
LOL, no chance in hell that happens.

That game is going to be so insanely overhyped all because of last year. But once they finally face off, I see OSU winning something along the lines of 45-17.

I completely agree. OSU is going to roll VA Tech. I don't care if OSU is missing those guys for the game. That team is unfortunately stacked. They just have too much talent and far superior coaching to lose that game.
I wouldn't say their coaching was far superior last year.

I'll bet you that its closer than you think it will be.
