B10 Title Game - Pick Winner + Saturday Activities
Mates,
Today is the B10 title game with MSU v. Iowa and state favored by I think 4 pts at most places. It is also the first Saturday, except for the bye week, that there's no Michigan game and indeed only one game left (yikes) to be played before next August. So two questions:
1. Who do you pick to win the B10 title tonight, and not just because you like/don't like one of the teams, but who do you actually think will win and why?
2. What are you doing with your first Saturday that is basically the start of the off season? Sunny and warm here up north, looks like a family football game with the entire family (even beloved mgowife) and cutting down a Christmas tree from the north part of the farm and dragging it into the house. What do you have going?
Pick your winner and enjoy your day.

I'll be rooting for Iowa, but I think State has the upper hand.
Not a complete off day from Michigan sports with the bball game at 2pm.

I think MSU will roll them. They are really playing well the last couple weeks. I have a hard time rooting for Iowa just because I believe they are undeserving. The didn't play MSU, UM, PSU or OSU this year. MSU ran the gauntlet this season if nothing else. Maybe, I will just root for a meteor strike.

but although i think state can win, i also think they have used up every drop of 'breaks' that could or might go their way, and i can see iowa winning today.

To drive an hour to the in laws just to put up their christmas lights. An Iowa victory certainly would make me feel better. Unfortunately MSU has too many playmakers for Iowa to handle and MSU will win.

They have more marquee victories in the last year than Michigan does in maybe the last 7-8 years. They just know how to win.
I want Iowa to win, but I bet MSU wins comfortably, by at least 10-14. Credit Iowa for being undefeated, but they've played no one. And with how much confidence MSU has right now, it would not shock me to see them win the whole thing next month.

1. B1G Champion = Iowa
They will play lights out on defense and stop the running game. Their secondary has created turnovers all season. Iowa doesn't have much flash on offense, but they will control the clock.
Iowa 24 MSU 21
2. It's not the off-season for me. We have Army/Navy next weekend in Philly and then the Military bowl Dec 28th. Flying to Orlando for the Citrus bowl on the 29th.
Navy 35 Army 10
Navy 31 Pitt 28
Michigan 24 Florida 14

Iowa's secondary has created turnovers all season. The jump balls thrown by Cook may turn into interceptions tonight.

I'm in Minnesota this weekend at my son's college, attending a concert tonight.

Is MSU that big of a favorite? I think Iowa wins by 10. 31-21 I know that goes against the MSU is unstoppable narrative around here but Iowa has a good defense, they can run the ball and they have a decent qb.

MSU has a Rose Bowl and another NY6 game so their next obvious goal is the playoff, so it would LOL for them to fall sort and get knocked back into "just" an NY6 game. And that game would probably be the Peach Bowl against Houston as the Rose Bowl would surely take OSU.
However, in a vacuum I'd like to see the best four in the final four. Having Iowa in there reminds me of Basketball March Madness Final Fours where there were three blue bloods and one "cinderella" who you knew was going to get smoked and made one of the semifinals a throwaway.
However, if MSU gets seeded 3rd against #2 Alabama (which I think they will) then they'll get smoked anyway so it doesn't matter. I DEFINITELY want MSU to lose in the semifinal, if they go, of course.
Swim meet, then sit down with family to watch A Very Murray Christmas during SEC blowout, then B1GCG.

Go Hawkeyes! Fuck MSU.

1. Bama (Henry wraps up the Heisman today)
2. MSU (hope I am wrong here but their experience wins out)
3. Clemson (NC has been on a roll lately and has looked impressive; this one goes down to the wire)
4. Stanford (USC will play hard for its new coach and this one will be closer than the last time)
When we wake up tomorrow AM, the CFP rankings will be;
1. Clemson
2. Bama
3. Oklahoma
4. MSU
5. Stanford
6. OSU

1. Todays games.
Iowa over MSU because Iowa controls the line and their seccondary will limit cook
Clemson over NC and it wont be close.
Bama over Florida and this will not be close either.
USC over Stanford. I think USC will be playing with fire for their new coach and I like the weapons they have on both sides of the ball.
2. Well my tree is already up( thanks to the wife) so were already in the christmas swing. Ill start my offseason by praying that Walton gets back out there soon and that the basketball team continues to put it together. If Basketball is boring this offseason and not playing well God help us all. Also brewing some home brew Tripel Ale Beer.

Does a close Clemson loss keep them in the top 4?
An NC upset somehow vault them into the top four?
Will Stanford jump an idle OSU?
Somebody talk me off the ledge and tell me we won't have to worry about MSU/OSU representing 50 percent of the final 4!
