i think a double bye..and we are in. But if we finish 5th…we need to win our 1st game?
Double bye? Or one more win?
- Thread starter Mikemarc
- Start date
I think we need one more win to feel good about our chances. Even if we finish fourth I am not sure we are a lock.
Michigan just took care of OSU now all we need is for Illinois to take care of Iowa for the double bye.
it would be absolutely head scratching if the 4th place big ten team is left out
Absolute lock
Even Wachtel just tweeted
I absolutely want the 4 seed, 3 wins and we are B1G champions
I agree. But I always worry about RU getting screwed.
I'd prefer the 5 and face the winner of slumping Minnesota or slumping NW, before facing a #4 Iowa in the Quarterfinals.
The other way, I guess Iowa could get tired in a 5/12 or 5/13 close game and we would be well rested, more motivated team the way the Penn St game ended, not let it happen again as a 4

If we are not a lock after today, getting the double-bye lessens our chances of adding a bad loss to our resume.
I can't guarantee we aren't Dayton (though I think 95% we aren't Dayton)
But, 100% We are in, now.
A double bye w/b amazing.

Yes as the 5th seed we do not want to lose to a bottom feeder.
We're probably in Dayton if we lose our first in the btt
Any loss or just a loss to a bottom feeder? Double bye means the loss will be a quad 1 loss most likely
Definitely want the double bye now. We can lose to anyone. If we go out, there is a better chance we go out vs a better team with the double bye.
Anyone hoping for 999
I thinking right now Dayton is our likely destination... so we'd need a win to get into the field of 64. A loss to anyone of the conference blue bloods won't hurt that. Conceivable that losing to Nebraska or Minnesota or the like could potentially hurt us still. Root for the double bye.

If we finish 4-5 at the end of today and win at least one more we are without doubt in. Even as of today it would be a real screw job to be out but hey you can listen to the excuses. With anyone else their early season records would be dismissed as a bad run. ESPN …Fox …will make one believe we are 12-18 and forget we have beaten 8 quad 1 teams. The system is a complete joke.
