Michigan will beat Wisconsin.
It's not your fault the Big 10 is a crooked affair.No comment.
Michigan has a good defense, all they have to do is take away Wisconsins run game. It'll probably be one of those weird B10 scores like 13-8Have you seen Michigan? They are horrible offensively.
You're not wrong, but they play four ranked teams in the next 5 games (assuming both them and Georgia end up in the SECCG). It will sort itself out imo.Not that Alabama isn't a top team, but show me their quality win now that we know what FSU is.

I can't figure out how the Big 10 scheduling actually works. OSU is probably the best team for the last decade in the Big 10 and somehow Iowa played them in 2010 and this year.
I really don't care what happens in the Big10...EXCEPT that no matter what happens I do NOT want Pedophile State to be successful on any level.
EVER.
I really hope blowing that game yesterday caused mass suicides among Pedophile State fans. At least the ones that didn't have long, painful, strokes.
14 teams 2 divisions. Each team has 6 permanent opponents from the division (5 from 2011 to 2013). Now factor in the non-cons. The B1G had 4 non-cons up until 2016, when they reduced to three. As you can see, we have already scheduled anywhere from 9-10 games in a season without sniffing the B1G East..... So here are the amount of B1G East opponents that a B1G West team (Hoks) have had to play every year since the 2010 conference re-alignment:
2011: 3
2012: 3
2013: 3 (Played OSU)
2014: 2
2015: 2
2016: 3
2017: 3 (Plays OSU)
It 's easy now to see how Iowa can get away with playing nobody. In 2015, the year they went undefeated until the Rose Bowl and got completely exposed, they played Maryland and Indiana from the East, which were the exact same teams they played the year before. I don't get how the rotation works for cross-divisional play, but it seems like one or two opponents are the same for a few years, and then you get one random opponent. For example, Iowa plays Penn State from 2016-2019, leaving room for only 2 other random opponents from the East the next few years.
I can name another team that's starting a backup QB and is thriving.A top ten team that played a big TV game against the tough guys and lost their QB for the season.

I think Wisconsin is a better team than the '15 TOE.... They don't make the schedule, all they can do is play it.... But, the rankings should take that into account.
Sure, but at the same time, I also don't think teams that are that good get this bad when their starting quarterback goes down. Do they get worse? Sure, but not #3 to 2-5Sure it happens but it's not common.
Crazy as this will sound, I will actually be rooting for the Hawkeyes to beat OSU and Wisconsin. I really hate the inequality of the polls.
I hear you, but no. Just can't root for Iowa unless it would directly put ISU in the CFP.
