Figured we could have one thread about all of the Big Ten games today since 4 will be on at the same time. Checked the lines and the Big Ten is not favored in any of the 5 games and will only end up being favored in 2 of their 8 bowl matchups.

Noon:
Northwestern vs Texas Tech

1pm:
Penn State vs Florida
Michigan State vs Alabama

1:30pm:
Michigan vs Mississippi State

4:30pm:
Wisconsin vs TCU

I think Wisconsin and one of the Big Ten vs SEC games are winners, but should be a great slate of games.

Herbie on Game Day: "whether RichRod puts up 100 or gets beat by 100, he's gone".....also, Bret Bielema when being interviewed by Herbie & Erin Andrews, looked at Herbie and said "remember when you talked about all these teams dealing with distractions (referring to OSU, etc.)? well, we don't have these kinds of things at Wisconsin"-- pride goeth before the fall, Coach--stay classy ;)

I believe this as well. No other way to explain how the AD has handled this. I think it is incredibly dumb for people to think the AD is using this one game to make his decision on his coach.

Northwestern might blow out Texas Tech if Persa was playing. This Watkins sucks bad. They have no chance to put up enough points today with him in there.

TCU has the #1 ranked defense, we will see if they can live up to that billing.

They'll get physically dominated. Better line play through chemistry.

Watkins is almost as bad as Bauserman.

Watching this Northwestern O is painful without Persa and co.

Texas Tech can't stop their run. They should keep the running QB in the game and run it every down.

If we learned anything from the other 2 Big Ten-Big 12 games it's that they can't stop the run. Northwestern should just keep pounding it.

I saw that as well. Tressell should use this as a prep video for next years game. Big cheap shot.

MSU is soft, not that anyone didn't know this. Michigan can't stop Miss. St. so they have to outscore State.

The Big 10 will only win 1 game today and that will be the Rose Bowl.
