B10 Title Game - Pick Winner + Saturday Activities

Go Hawkeyes

Go Iowa

Would love for the Hawkeyes to win but somehow the sparties will pull it out in the end. Soccer game for the kid and then an evening with Mrs. Fisch to celebrate 22 years of wedded bliss! Go blue!

Toledo Zoo lights...somehow I think Iowa's balance wins tonight. I think they'll throw the ball deep. I also think they'll pressure Cook.

1st Saturday without a game and I just arrived in the country from a long project in South Africa. Heading straight from the airport to play some hockey. Also Iowa will be winning the Big Ten championship.

Well I'm at work from 1 a to about 9 a pst, then a nap, then family Christmas photos, then I'm buying a new truck, then I'm drinking some dogfish 120 to celebrate my house selling, then I'm finishing packing, then the old lady and I will get naked. Idc who wins the game today, fuck both of them.

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.

Hoping like hell they will lose, but those bastards always seem to find away, and usually it's by some measure of good fortune....or soul sacrificing. Stuck at work all day so yay

1. Iowa because fuck msu (ignoring the suggestion in op) 2. Putting up a fence (though it might be more advisable to form a Scott van Grundy wall)

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.

There are 5 championships up for grabs today. This isnt the offseason...this is THE season.

Rather pick my nose.

I did. Booger Spartans it is.

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.

MSU by 21. It sickens me to say it but they are playing good enough right now to win the whole thing.

Skiing all day, then several beers and Settlers if Catan with some buddies.

Man I hate saying this but MSU wins easy. Obviously MSU has their holes, but with a healthy Cook & a defense that is getting better, they could also be the most complete team

While I'm rooting like hell for Iowa, I just know that MSU has this game in the bag. They either play down to their competition and weasel their way into winning, or they manage to play up to higher competition and always rise to the occasion.

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

 

Although I'm rooting for Iowa, MSU wins by 2-3 scores.

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

got State, but I got at least one major upset today in UF v. Bama/Clemson v.UNC. I am recovering from cartilage removal re generation surgery and it sucks enormous balls. Was really hoping M was in BIG title game so I could look forward to that while I sit in the same sport ALL THE TIME. #tooyoungforthisshit

I assume Clemson and Bama win, Bama rolling in particular. MSU should win, but they've also played with fire all year and if Tommy Armstrong can eat up your defense so can Iowa. But Lord is MSU in trouble if they play Clemson in the first bowl game.

I think MSU wins big, I just don't see how Iowa is going to stop Cook.

I'm jinxing them. My wife is a Hawkeyes so there's big benefits for them to win!

I'm at Discount Tire now cause my high school son asked me late last night why that tire light on his dashboard is on. Fun being Dad....

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.

In order of confidence:

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.

The real questions:

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!
