Kentucky goes for 2 in OT, and converts to get the 35-34 over South Carolina, at South Carolina. They rallied from 17 down to tie the game, and then won it in OT

Been watching some of the USC v U-dub game..... USC is going to absolutely smoke us. We are very slow on defense and they have athletes all over the place. All these people saying 7-5 or 6-6...... I am scratching my head where they're getting the 3 or 4 wins from.

I know you don't want a real conversation but Michigan, Purdue, Rutgers and Maryland are all obviously winnable. Minnesota and Washington are also winnable. USC's the toughest game left and they're not exactly beating up an average Washington team.

They also only beat a bad Rutgers team by only seven two weeks ago, although Rutgers scored 28 points which I don’t think that PSU is capable of doing. Also, USC has traveled very poorly in Big 10 road games; they’re like two different teams at home and on the road.

Yeah, and Santa Clause could bring you a clue this Christmas too - as my pops used to say, "Put both your hands out and put your crap in one and your wishes & dreams in the other - see which fills up first.".

scUM has looked vastly over-rated, but haven't looked as remotely non-competitive as we have in b1g play as we have. Ditto Minny. You are positively dreaming if you think we're beating either USC or Washington.

Right you don't want a real conversation. Thank you for proving that.
We were non competitive in 1 game jot in Big Ten play. Why do people pretend we lost to Wisconsin by 40?
