The problem is that these Big 10 schools are pieces of crap to begin with, and therefore, are subject to so called "bad matchups" and exposed. They need to raise their game if that is the case...

I would say that would really suck, but since they were all underdogs I can't say I'd be surprised.

I actually believe him on this one. I said that I thought Ohio State would beat Arkansas pretty handily on one thread, and lhs jumped all over me for it. Apparently, this dude is ALL ABOUT the lines.

But if you were to bet the money line, that is, bet against the Big 10 because all 5 Big 10 teams were underdogs, you would have been 5-0, hence the Big 10 lived up exactly to their billing, betting wise at least, losing all 5 games.

Why is it so hard for you or anyone with half a brain to comprehend?


Let me re-iterate. The. Big. 10. Played. Like. Shit. But. They. Lost. Every. Game. They. Were. Supposed. To.

Does that mean I'm happy about it? Hell no.

So what is your point? Should we hand out trophies to the teams for sucking and being undefeated at it?

No, I'm not. But I am about people hating on the Big 10 like they were favored in 3 or 4 of the games and went 0-5. It's a lot different going 0-5 when you're an underdog in every game than when you lose games you should win.

It's not bullshit. I didn't say I was happy the big 10 went 0-5, but I am saying it takes a lot to surprise me, especially in college football. Now, I'm not going to sit here and say I predicted the Big 10 to go 0-5 because that's simply not true, I thought Wisco would for sure win. But the question was "so you're telling me you wouldn't be surprised" and my honest answer is no.

It's not like they were 20 point dogs in every game. This thread is beyond retarded.

This is retarded thinking. So it's ok that the Big 10 sucks because they sucked before the games started?

If they sucked before the games started then why would you be surprised they lost?

How does the difference in spreads matter if they still lose as underdogs? So in your head, underdogs should win all the time? What's your thought process here? Because mine seems pretty logical. The team that was picked to lose lost. Nothing illogical there.

You're acting like everyone was predicting blowouts. Sure they were underdogs, but the highest I saw was an 8.5 point line in one of the games.

And the only 2 blowouts were by that shitty state up north. NW somehow kept it competitive, Wisconsin played a nail biter, and Penn State was driving for a game winning touchdown before Matt McGloin channeled his inner Anthony Morelli and threw a pick 6.

But you seem to think it's ok that they were 0-5 because they were really 5-0. :confused:

I take this as if a gambler were to bet against the Big 10, the gambler would be 5-0. I don't take it as the Big 10 being 5-0 against the money line. The Big 10 can't bet on a moneyline, therefore they didn't go 5-0 against anything.

It has stopeed Ohio State from being one of the most dominant programs in the country over that time. I think people put way too much thought into this conference bowl record nonsense. Who cares. I hate most of the Big 10, I'm glad to see those teams lose. As long as the Buckeyes win I'm happy.

Are you suggesting that the BCS is the reason OSU shit the bed in big Bowl games? Or blaming the other Big Ten teams for it?

Neither makes any sense, regardless.

It doesn't matter what the rest of the conference did if OSU wins, that's what I gleamed from the players during the interviews today, good enough for me.
