CBS Sports Looks at B1G 2025 Football Win Totals
As CBS Sports Tom Fornelli noted in the above article, he finished this B1G exercise in 2024 going 9-9. Here are my thoughts. (Do not wager on my thoughts, I have a lot of Fernelli within me.) Fornelli has OBD, TOSU, and Penn State all finishing 11-1 and all covering the 10.5. If this were the case. at the close of the regular season, Ohio State, with a win over the Nits, would meet Penn State in the B1G champ game and Oregon would be a top 8-seed, hosting a 1st round game in Autzen. If the predicted loss for OBD at PSU is a 'good loss,' this would be a fine outcome IMO. Best B1G Bet. Again, please beware, but my betting friends and I already have money down on ILLINOIS over 7.5. Illinois returns close to 90% of its production, starting QB, Luke Altmyer, and misses Oregon, Michigan, and Penn State. Illinois plays Ohio State and USC in Champaign. Road games at Indiana and UW could be tough. I disagree with INDIANA going under 8.5. I do not see the Hoosiers losing at Rutgers. Michigan under 8.5? I think the Wolverines win at least one of Ohio State at home or on the road vs. Oklahoma, Nebraska, or USC. Ohio State - I believe there is a loss somewhere but not in the opener vs. Texas. Texas has to replace as many starters as TOSU and Manning is getting a lot of love for playing well against UTSA and Mississippi State. Ewers was injured all of last season and Sark still had him starting for the Horns. I believe IOWA will cover the 7.5, MICHIGAN STATE the 5.5, INDIANA the 8.5, RUTGERS the 5.5, and UWho the 7.5. Take the Bob out of the Cats!

The Civil War Should Be the Spring Game
Thanks, David. Playing a G6 opponent in a meaningless game does not make sense. Playing in Corvallis? No way. I like your FCS for all P4 + G6 teams in the spring, a game that counts with 11 games left in the regular season beginning in Week 0. Have to shorten the season and play the champ game on 1/1 or shortly thereafter. Go against King NFL and you lose. OBD owes these hypocritical sewer rats NOTHING.

NCAA Men's Tourney, Round 2, Oregon Blows Lead, Eliminated by Arizona 87-83
10 seed Arkansas is the only team lower than a No. 6 seed to make the Sweet Sixteen. Power conferences fill this year's Sweet 16 for the first time ever APNEWS.COM Years of bracket chaos have given way to the year of the power conference. Cinderella is staying home this time. Conference consolidation at the 'Power' level and transfer portal free agency have resulted in the first All-Power-Conference Sweet 16. (Although, it took a great shot by Maryland freshman Queen, for the Terps to defeat CO. ST. and advance.) If the football playoff committee used the strength-of-schedule metric it pays for and not the eye test, and with no guaranteed spot for a G6 team, the 14 or 16-team PO field in 2026-27 would consist of all Power 4 teams with the B1G and the SEC dominating the field. Four-seeds each for the B1G and the SEC in the football PO field accurately reflect the state of today's game. The B12 in particular should be happy about two seeds being guaranteed. Follow the $$$$$.

Not a vintage year for the Big East. (I am hoping UConn takes down The Gators, sorry Gat, today.) The Saint John Johnies' bad shooting showed up yesterday. The leading scorer was held to nine points by the Razorbacks. Next up for 10 seed Arkansas is No. 3 seed Texas Tech. Come On Red Raiders! MASH THE MILDCATS!

Thanks to 30, et al, for all of the tournament updates and comments. Thursday night, No. 5 Michigan plays the overall No. 1 seed Auburn in Atlanta. The Wolverines made a gutty comeback in a game where the refs allowed body checks and called ticky-tack fouls. Michigan fans will be well represented in the ATL. How do you like that No. 1 seed Houston? Your Sweet 16 reward is playing No. 4 Purdue on Thursday night in Indianapolis. 😁 It would be Sweet 🤑 if favorites No. 1 Michigan State vs. 10 New Mexico, and No. 4 Maryland Maryland vs. No. 12 Colorado State move on today, along with upset winners No. 6 Illinois vs. No. 3 Kentucky, and No. 5 OBD vs. the No. 4 Tucson Kitty-Cats. Ducks fans, show up and make some noise! MASH THE MILDCATS. There's no place like Newark in March! 🤪

Tough day for the Commodores. Men lose to the Gaels and the Women to OBD! 4-seed Maryland looked solid today. The Terps play 12-seed Colorado State tomorrow after the Rams upset 5-seed Clemson. B1G is 5-0 to date in the Men's tourney. OBD, Illinois, and Michigan State play tonight. Sparty has a 10 PM start in Cleveland. But it's all about the 'student-athlete,' right?
