ESPN's Finebaum / MadDog attack Big Ten and Penn State

You don’t get an a for effort on out of conference. Every comparison I’ve seen between our resume and Texas points out we have the only somewhat “quality” win and is usually followed by some form of it hurts Texas that Michigan isn’t good.
They do--just like I gave us credit when we scheduled Auburn even though they were awful. You get credit for trying.
Yet Texas remains ahead of us because they tried--we should be 3rd but when WVU is your BIG game non-conference you're not getting any kind of love for that

Because it's not a non-conference game--it wasn't "scheduled" it was assigned.
Ohio State has Texas in their non-conference slate--they'll get an insane amount of credit for scheduling that
Ohio State has Texas, Bama and Georgia as non-conference opponents coming up--we have....literally no one worth mentioning.

Indiana played Michigan and gets no credit. I know you’re going to say it’s different because it’s in conf vs out, not that sos differentiates.

I agree if we lose both we are probably out.

Ohio state has a two game season next year as well.

My guess is that Olesh remains committed to MI after the Underwood announcement.

It’s an offense that is going to produce the Mackey Award winner this season, and has, by my count, four tight ends in the NFL right now, with several more to join them.
Andrew witnessed what happened against osu. It is what it is. They wanted see if PSU could get over the hump…I’m a huge fan of Luke Reynolds’s…I think that’s are next great one.

Not for teams that fell off--like no one cares if someone is playing SMU or BYU or Indiana for example next year
But when you schedule a Michigan or a Penn State you're going to get credit for it
We simply disagree--if we lose both those games (recently history suggests that's likely) we better have a quality win and that's unlikely.

No one gets credit for playing teams that fell off from what they were the previous year.

I said I don’t see the benefit. I don’t think the risk reward is there. Especially with Oregon and OSU on the schedule next year. They’re not going to fall off. Split those games and you’re in. Playoff is the goal.

The effort matters. Texas will get credit for scheduling Michigan this year.
Our non-conference schedule is beyond pathetic--why are you defending playing scared?
We have to schedule better. Oregon and Ohio State are the only "big games" on our schedule next year.

Well Dave Portnoy is coughing up like 3 mil for a QB. PSU had Olesh and his dad witness that pathetic offense against OSU, so makes no difference on him.
