The B1G Championship Game was finalized this week, cementing what everyone knew for the past month. Other than that it was a pretty standard day around the conference: losing teams mostly looking terrible and winning teams only slightly better.
Good surprise:
It is almost the end of November already, so this embarrassment of a season can finally be taken out back and put out of its misery.
Bad surprise:
I know Illinois is bad, but how do you let Purdue stay within 4 points in a football game. Purdue wouldn’t be bowl eligible in the MAC, and Illinois struggled with the Boilers on both sides of the ball. But I guess congrats to Illinois for recording their first win in two of the worst B1G years in history.
Nebraska might be the most bipolar team in the conference, and while road woes have been publicly covered with Michigan the Huskers might fall in the same boat. Their last three weeks have seen Big Red look absolutely terrible in Ann Arbor and Happy Valley, but then outplayed Michigan State at home in between. What does that mean when they head to Florida on January 1st?
