I thought Michigan had a slight edge playing at home but after watching them struggle against Maryland and Jim Harbaugh's absence from the sideline I say OSU has the edge. Current spread Michigan -3 points.

I hate to type these words but I suspect “Pop’s” D-line is going to be difference maker.

OSU 35
Michy 17

I don't think Michy can play bully ball with OSU and an offense that has Harrison and Henderson on it.
I was not impressed with the Michy QB or passing attack against us or MD.
Harbs will end up being vilified by the michy fan base.
Harbs has a built in excuse with the in game suspension . Fan base will use that victim card if UM comes up short .

At least at the undergraduate level, it’s something like this ….
Pretty much it. Why is 6/3 = 2? Because 2x3=6. If 1/0 = a, you would then have 1 = 0xa=0, a contradiction. The same process, tweaked, shows that 0/0 cannot be defined.

In complex analysis you can define 1/0 = infinity if you’re working in the Riemann Sphere, an extension of the complex plane. Very cool.

Here’s why ax0=0: (the x is multiplication, not the variable x.)

ax0 = a[1+(-1)] = [ax1] + [ax(-1)] = a+(-a) = 0.

Any story that has Iowa winning the Big championship game should start with "once upon a time" :)
Iowa will lose the B1G championship game but might make it interesting. I doubt it approaches 31-0.

Maserati Marv vs the Cheatin’ Harbaughs. It’s the Marvs in a boat race 42-10. Although it would be more poetic if the Cheatins won but were beaten by Iowa in the championship game.

Iowa gets nothing, and likes it!

As much as I dislike both Michigan and OSU, I cannot bear to see Ioaw actually win the conference title game.

I just don't think Iowa has enough offense to make it interesting against either team.

Yea I can't get with you on that. They (Iowa) will be lucky to score a TD.
Iowa would need some luck, sure, a couple timely interceptions, a few gifts from the refs, a few dropped passes on the part of OSU or UM. The Eagles got lucky last night, it happens.

I'm wondering if the B1G doesn't "officiate" their way out of controversy by sending their best crew to orchestrate an O$U win. That would relegate scUM to a Jan 1st bowl.

Semi-justice served

I just heard Harbaugh's comment about his mother in a one-piece bathing suit. That guy is a WEIRDO

I’m old enough to remember when the loser of the tOSU V. Michigan* game got to play Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl.

We only ever played OSU in the Fiesta Bowl. We did play OSU on and off in the 70's and 80's but until we joined the B1G we never played Michy.

Back then only a handful of bowls had conference locks, so this time a fan would watch the sports section to see where they might be going. Loser of Ok/Neb to Cotton, ND wins then Sugar, if they lose Gator, that sort of stuff. Projections back then we’re pretty good. For the 1980 season, PSU had the Fiesta locked up to take on the loser of Mich vs OSU, winner, of course, went to Rose.

Always remembered that setup as it would have been the one time Bo couldn’t dodge Paterno. But instead, USC got to smack Bo and PSU got Earl Bruce’s Buckeyes.

FIFY. Ordinarily I wouldn't, but Earl (no second "e") Bruce was a long-time assistant at PSU.
