Could someone explain BIG East tie breaker if Penn state Michigan and OSU all win at home and end up 11-1? I have to think Iowa and ILL winning today helps us

If Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State split their head-to-head matchups and finish in a three-way tie at 8-1, the East Division champion will be determined by comparing the cumulative conference winning percentage of each team's West Division opponents.

LOL. It’s Maryland buddy. Relax.

Next week will be a lot of fun. Hope we can put it together like this against Michigan.
I'm relaxed. :) I still don't think PSU matches up well with UM. To me, they're the superior team, but I'm hoping for the best. PSU is long overdue to win such a game. It would be great. I'm in the minority here, but I despise UM more than I do tOSU. I might despise UM as much as I despise ND. NAH!!!

Too bad that the Michigan game is on Fox. Worst game coverage in college football. Why do they always have those super wide camera shots? Do we really need to see every player on the field. I would like to see the ball play.

You never know. A comfortable Allar is a whole different animal. My concern is the run game which is still struggling…

For the record, I don’t think PSU matches up well with Michigan either. I hope I’m wrong and I would love to see PSU put those arrogant pricks in their place.

I just don't have confidence that PSU can win the interior line battle. Of course, there are many other factors that could play into a win. For example, turnovers. Also, PSU's kicking game is a little better than I thought it would be. So that's good.

I’m concerned with the run defense as well. Michigan likes to play power run offense right at the defense which doesn’t play well from PSU’s perspective of wanting the DEs to pressure on the edges.

I thought UM could not play at night game in Nov, well its Nov 4 and they are playing Purdue in a night home game, What gives? Bunch of cheating cry babies- they just don't want to play at the Beav a night.

Didn’t see that but I did see a Maryland player push Allen in the face on the same play but naturally that wasn’t a penalty.

per the radio broadcast, from the sideline reporter, CJF was complaining quite strongly that the push/punch by the MD player in Allen's face should have been flagged.

I would prefer a slightly elevated view from just behind the QB, where the entire O and D was visible.
A couple years ago I thought they were talking about programming that offered options for the individual viewer to select.
Of course, my 15 year old TV likely would not be compatible anyways. 🤔
