Don't want to talk about must win games at the beginning of the Big10 season but in our case we can't afford to do any worse than split OSU and Penn State. Losing both will dig a gigantic hole to dig out of for us to have any chance of an NCAA bid. So, I guess if we were to lose at OSU, the PSU game will absolutely be a must win. Let's win the damn OSU game!

WHY?

because we are on the road and beat no one yet while OSU does at least have a quality win over Texas so yeah a 4 point advantage on a neutral court

That was over a month ago now and their only good win. They just got absolutely demolished. 7.5 is too many and not sure why you are even arguing since your predicted Rutgers to win 🤣

Ok guys but we lost our only road game to Kennesaw. Vegas isn’t going to just pretend that didn’t happen.

The advanced stats on a lopsided MOV loss hurt the blended computer numbers and matter a bit more now than 10 years ago, but SOR is still the most reliable metric correlation for field selection. Simply put - the resume of who you beat and lost to is still the clear number 1 driver. At current point - we are 5-3 with no wins over likely NIT teams and a loss to a mid-major that probably won’t be an auto-bid contender. BAC is right - it’s too early to project the field, but if someone’s going to do it - you’d have to focus on this information first and foremost. A 30 point loss to a major conference team is better to have on the resume than the Kennesaw loss unless Kennesaw turns out to be one of those gaudy record cupcake types. But they already have some losses that seem that unlikely. Just where we are at right now. We need wins over projected tournament teams to offset that loss. We don’t have it right now so we shouldn’t be anywhere near the projected present time field.

As far a point spreads go, if RU can't win a close game, they will still cover +6.5. So the line seems high.
