It would be sick if MSU ended up being the Rose Bowl Rep

[HaydenHawk56]

from the Big Ten. Yes they beat Wisco.....at home by 10. Outside of that, not very impressive resume there. This team would get smoked on a neutral field by any team of consequence. Good news is Deace might just be right that Penn St will get them at the end of the year.

At least if Wisco were to end up in the Rose Bowl, they would have a offensive line, two capable (one big) running backs, and a decent QB for the other team to contend with.

I could never believe MSU was the #5 team in the country. Not even close. They needed a gadget play to beat Notre Dame for crying out loud.

Michigan St. needs Iowa to lose another game to be Rose Bowl bound. We just need Wisconsin to lose and win out. Michigan St. won't wind up in Pasedena imo.

True, but in a 3 way tie between Iowa, Wisco, and MSU, MSU would get the nod because of head to head against Wisconsin. We would be eliminated because of our overall record.

By sick, I take it you mean the traditional sense of the word. Not like, "Those are some sick beats, rims, etc.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Yes. By sick I mean, it would suck big time not only for us, but the rest of the conference to see them get slaughtered.

 

[CAARHawk]

Agreed. Big Ten should bring in some SEC type refs to make sure it doesn't happen.

We still play a team that has been a royal thorn in our side (Northwestern) on the road, and still have to play OHIO STATE, and you think MSU's odds are pretty long? All they have to do is win out and hope we lose (which is FAR from impossible). I hope we win out, and if we play the way we did yesterday for the rest of the year, nobody will beat us.

Imagine if Oregon gets upset! Oregon could beat Michigan State by 60 points in they wanted to. That would have potential to be the worst Rose Bowl ever.
