14-4 will win B1G

It probably will win the B1G, however, the problem is that Iowa probably has the toughest final 4 games of the top 3 teams.
 
OP, don't know if it was you or another poster who stated this a couple weeks ago when we had 1 lost and looked like world beaters. It stuck with me and right now, I'd say you are likely to be correct.

Does your wife know you're always right? :D

I am going to eat crow. Props to Rocky on his 14-4 call which looks more likely now. I was certain it was going to be 15-3 by at least one team. I did not foresee PSU beating Iowa & Indiana along with Maryland losing at home to Wisky and to Minnesota. Wild stuff.

Except Maryland and Indiana have to play each other and we play Indiana at home. We can probably afford to lose one as long as it isn't Indiana.
 
My papee always told me

8-0 at home and 4-4 on the road = Big Ten Champion

Your Papee didn't foresee an 18 game schedule. :) I believe the equation now would be go 9-0 at home and 5-4 on the road. Yes 14-4 should get you at least a piece of the title. If the number is 5 losses then my heavens the fur will fly.

To be fair to my papee...

His theory was win all your home games and win half of your road games and that typically wins the big ten

It's amazing when you apply ratios, final numbers work out out regardless of the number of games.
 
Props to Rocky on his 14-4 call which looks more likely now.

No need to do that. He'll be sure to take care of that enough for everyone. If you miss it in this thread don't worry, there will be another one along in about four hours where he toots his horn some more.

Edit: I might be getting OP confused with OnceAhawk

Hey, everyone sure chimed in, calling me all sorts of things when Iowa was 5-0 yet I predicted a 14-4 record that included a bad road loss. Of course, those same people disappear after Iowa had that bad road loss at Penn State.

So, its ok for others to ridicule my January 19th 14-4 prediction but its not ok for me to say it appears that my 14-4 prediction on January 19 might be spot on?

Lots of posters like to dish it out but they sure can't take it.
 
No one predicted a run for the BIG title at the beginning of the year. I knew senior leadership would lead to a decent season and a trip to the tourney which is all anyone could hope for. I am just enjoying this season for what it is. One of the best since Dr Toms teams. And the future is bright.
