Here are the Remaining Schedules for Michigan (NOW at 17 Games), Illinois, OSU & IOWA. Will Michigan (then 8-1) Play Their Final 11 games in 22 days?

Hopefully now that Trump is gone, we can start trusting elected officials again with their decisions and not assume they are being political. Maybe they are making a decision based on evidence and facts? This is a new disease and there’s still a lot we don’t know. People are going to make mistakes.

You trust a patry that stole the election more thab the prty that got screwed? That is funny and sad

If Michigan plays 18 games (the 9 they have played plus 3 games each week x 3 weeks left) and have a 3 game lead in the loss column, I think then you can give them a regular season title because even if they "forfeited" the 2 remaining games, they win the league by 1 game

fair enough, I see a very slim chance of them playing that many games. If they do I bet they go on a losing streak.

Amazing that your delusion continues even after Trump has disgraced himself and repeatedly failed to produce any evidence of election fraud other than his own. The insurrection failed. Thank God, you are in the minority.
 
Do we have a preference who wins this or are we satisfied with Wisconsin burning a lot of fuel in the tank before we play them on Thursday?
 
It would, but we aren't going to catch them before the BTT. I think I would rather focus on staying ahead of Wisconsin.
its crazy how most journalists/analysts had the Top 5 of the B1G to be:
Iowa
Wisconsin
Illinois
Michigan State
Rutgers (@MrsScrew )

Granted, Illinois MIGHT catch Michigan, but damn, Michigan & OSU have been huge surprises

Must be nice not to have the grind of the season. Imagine if Luka wasn't beat to hell and tired and CJ wasn't injured.

If there is going to be unfairness side with the teams and players that played and proved it on nthe court. Football is not basketball and last I checked Ohio State beat Indiana head to head.

Michigan can win every single game currently left on their schedule but if they don't make up most of those other games they belong outside the championship. Make them a 5 seed honestly unless they play enough games to earn a 4 seed or above for the big ten tournament. Why should they get the bye when they have already had so many?

to be fair as long as the Illinois game gets rescheduled they will have played every other opponent and if they were to win every game they will likely have more wins than any other team has despite playing fewer games. It would seem something like 15-1 would be fully deserving of the conference title and #1 seed ahead of a team that went 14-6. (and no I am not suggesting they would likely be 15-1, just pointing out the absurdity of arguing if they don't play all the games they can't be the champ or the #1 seed).
 
If you think Trump being gone solves your issue then I'm guessing you have more skeletons in your closet then cyclone shirts.....not sorry

I have said it before and I will say it again. I think the B1G is just waiting to see how this plays out.

First, try to get Michigan as many games as possible. And, as an example, if Michigan ends up playing 16 games, with a 5 game lead, then give them the regular season championship because even if they forfeited the final 4 games, they would still win the league by a game.

Some conferences have already come out & stated that their reg season champ will be determined by win percentage. The B1G has been quiet on that idea.

Is there any word on whether the B1G will do to Michigan what they did to Nebraska?

Nebraska is in the middle of a brutal 8 game in 15 day stretch:

Feb 6, L at MSU
Feb 8, L, at Minny
Feb 10, L, vs Wisc
Feb 12, L, vs Ill
Feb 14, W, at PSU
Feb 16 at MD
Feb 17 at MD
Feb 20 vs Pur

There is no way Michigan deserves the crown. Illinois and OSU have larger claim at this point. See how the final 3 weeks go but I think tournament needs to be the only champion this year.

Hey! Now we are talking. Hawks still have a shot then!
 
Should have started the season with a rule on the table requiring teams to play all scheduled conference games prior to end of regular season. All unplayed games should be forfeited,,.. Big Ten management is worthless.

I might have a different take on how to manage unplayed games, but I do agree that the B1G office should have been clear up front about the plan. You don't have to have magic powers to anticipate that there would be an issue with Covid affecting the schedule.

Exactly,.. they basically said let's cross our fingers and hope that the obvious doesn't happen.
 
Interesting that the B1G is having no problem rescheduling when it comes to Little Debbie.

They are now at 17 games.

No reason Michigan can't do the same thing...

It takes 2 to reschedule a game. Everybody wants to see Nebraska. Of Michigan's 5 postponed games, only the home game with Illinois is against a real contender. Missing out on weaker teams like MSU, Northwestern, and Penn State is depriving Michigan of many of the easier games on the schedule. I assume MSU will do everything in their power to not reschedule with Michigan as there is no way Izzo wants to get beat down twice.

Except even those so called easy games take a physical toll. In the big ten even those bad teams can catch you on an off night.

That's why you play the games though. Iowa fans thought the Indiana games were going to be a cake walks as well. Iowa ended with two loses. Some teams just matchup better even if they are perceived as a mismatch.

sure, like I said those teams might not want to make it up. Everybody would like to see every game, but maybe Northwestern doesn't want to play back to back nights to add another loss and some injuries to their roster.

Most Michigan fans have assumed they would try to fit the MSU make up game on a back to back since they can still keep the home/away balance since the arenas are so close.

it is a given that rescheduled games will happen, the dates just have not been announced.

Unless dates are changed in these scheduled games, the only likely date for Michigan vs Illinois is Feb 25.

Michigan (10-1) Current Schedule:
Feb 21 at OSU

I don't think UM was being egregious here and if they reschedule Illinois and make it through, I'd have no problem with them being crowned if the record suggests it.

They could easily play March 9th IMHO. That would be Tuesday before Big Ten tourney. Both teams likely headed for double bye to not play til Friday.
 
Amazing that your delusion continues even after Trump has disgraced himself and repeatedly failed to produce any evidence of election fraud other than his own. The insurrection failed. Thank God, you are in the minority.
75 million would disagree with your skewed view. MAGA forever!
