Yes. They would beat us by two TDs. Seeing USC lose to Maryland and watching Illinois almost lose at home to Purdue, our resume is very weak. We don't look the part of a playoff team. Oregon, Ohio State and Indiana will represent the Big Ten in the playoff. I see us losing at Wisconsin, at Minnesota and getting blown out by Ohio State. If we had this year's offense with last year's defense we would have looked the part but our defense this year is suspect. 9-3 is our destiny.
Who exactly are you rating as Indiana's quality wins, Nebraska? I'm not a kool aid PSU fan, and I am also not a sky is falling PSU fan. USC , losing to Maryland, moved nothing for me. Traveling all that way, after an emotional loss and when all your playing for is practically gone, what did you expect from them? Wisconsin is an ok team and very well could beat us, but watching their gane against NW, everyone looked slow, I really think our speed will be the factor, especially when you add in the talent of the teams, look at USC and Alabama vs the Badgers. Minnesota is another one of those teams that could beat you and is capable. Again it's hard to gage a home win against USC and Michigan is not a great marker. OSU , to me is the only team that can out right beat us that we play. Everyone else in my opinion we should beat, unless we beat ourselves. Again just my honest take.
