Poll: How many Big 10 conference wins?

[bac2therac]

what say you

 

[bac2therac]

I went with 2......Nebraska and Minnesota at home

 

[Mr_Twister]

Is the University of Chicago still competing in the Big Ten?

 

[BigEastPhil]

We'll win 2-3 games.......just like last year when we got hot vs Wisky....the same thing will happen this year if a Grier or Sanders goes off and our opponent falls asleep....

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I said 1...left the rac tonight feeling the worst that I have felt all year about this team PLUS the realization that Freeman may not play this yer.

Don't forget Johns Hopkins!

 

[bac2therac]

for the people saying 6 can I ask why you think that or are you just be a troll

 

[PiscatawayMike]

I don't know which three, but we'll somehow win three B1G games. More than three wins and this team (without Freeman) will have played above my expectations.

With Freeman for all 18 games, I think we'd win at least five.

 

[fluoxetine]

Put 3.

In order of descending likelihood:

Minnesota
Nebraska
Penn St
Illinois
Ohio St
at Minnesota

 

[megadrone]

I said 1 -- either State Penn or Minnesota

kenpom agrees

 

[bac2therac]

seems like 1 or 2 is the consensus

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Kenpom still has 3 wins and we are up to #245.

Minnesota, Nebraska, penn state and Illinois have tons of warts and could look similar to us in the mirror. The tough part is we play them in the end. If we don't beat Nebraska at home Jan 9 we could be 0-9 before the winnable games come.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Being more than 24 hours removed from the umass game I am changing my prediction to 3.

1 unwinnable game early (Purdue? Iowa?)
Feb 20 penn state
March 5 Minnesota

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I am DUMBFOUNDED at the fact that 4 different posters think we'll win "6 or more" games in conference play.

 

[MGSA99]

Our only chance at a win may be a team that decides to rest players when they play us like Wisconsin did last year.

 

[dollarbill]

If there ever was bulletin board material from our own fans, this is it. $$$$

 

[RU-ROCS]

I am DUMBFOUNDED at the fact that 4 different posters think we'll win "6 or more" games in conference play.

That begs the question, how many people from Eddie's family post here?

 

[bac2therac]

still think 2 is about right even after todays spirited effort. Remember even the Nebbys and Minnys of the world are circling the Rutgers game as one they feel they should win. It just depends if those schools don't bring it on a night and RU plays at full capabilities.

 

[bac2therac]

bump

 

[AreYouNUTS]

This poll causes me pain and makes me laugh at the same time!

 

[ScarletRunner]

This poll causes me pain and makes me laugh at the same time!

I'm trying to see the humor in it, like when Shea had the winless season.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I'm trying to see the humor in it, like when Shea had the winless season.

The "humor" is that 7 people came up with "6 or MORE" wins this season (not even counting the ones who voted for 2, 3, 4, or 5...). I just don't know what people saw, during the OOC schedule, that made anyone come up with those #'s. Sorry.

 

[RUJMM78]

Being a Rutgers fan there always is a lot of wishful thinking.Unfortunately, reality hits every time a game is played.
