Big Ten Champion should be based on win total this year

[TR32]

I don't want to see any kind of championship trophy going to some 12-2 team while a 14-6 team is counted as lower.

Win total should determine the order this year.

Sorry Michigan.

I agree.

I’d support doing it like baseball. 12-2 is a game better than 14-6 but would be tied with 14-4 and 15-5.

It will be interesting to watch, and I fear that the final shakeout will lead to more confusion rather than any sense of clarity.

I heard Nebraska is playing every other day for the next week. Sucks for them, great for whoever is getting the easy wins against a team with no rest or preparation time. Why not give Illinois a week off to play Iowa and force Maryland to play PSU, Minnesota and MSU in a triple header tomorrow?

In the end it’s going to end more lopsided than the football season, due to the ability for schedulers to jam games into compressed time frames.

IMHO, it’s all going to come down to the schedule. It’s a large part of Iowa staring down the barrel of a three game L streak while UM sits at home watching ESPN pencil them in as a #1 seed.

 

[Brockway]

In the end, all of the teams will play a similar # of games.
If UM returns to pre-pause form, it's likely they will have the most wins with fewer games.
That being said, Win % is the way to go.

Forget all the conference tournaments. Start the NCAA tourney a week early and let in every team that has a winning record. Let the top 16 seeds have a first round bye.

BIG team that gives the best chance at a one seed should be named champion Team that has the best chance at a two seed should be named runner up and so on.

Appoint Ohio State the B1G Champion. Nothing to see here!

Hell, they might do it the old fashioned way. Most wins in conference and overall when I looked at the standings on Sunday. They're playing good ball.

If it isn’t IU, are people going to go into a mindless rage and demand the firing of Gary Barta?

 

[Radio Zero]

Conclave it, baby.

Assemble in Chicago the most brilliant minds among the Big Ten faculty in the fields of advertising, sports marketing and management, finance, accounting, marketing, statistics and probability, and have *them* decide. Also, Gary Barta.

Bitch, one thread today has already been politicized.

Goddammit, this place blows so bad.

Kevin Warren can earn his pay, finally, and decide it all on his own.

And, no. NOBODY thinks IU deserves it. Even IUScott, on TOS, is done.

I don’t know him or TOS. Is he a flagwaver?

I am not a person who menstruates.

Being in all seriousness, however, I have admitted on this forum that I have a pretty short fuse.

EDIT. Nickel and dime clarity.

For me, the regular season champ should be determined by the number of wins. Teams with fewer games can still be the tournament champ if the league decides to play one.

You know him, all right.

Absurd.

The place is what the mods have allowed it to be. Best to just have zero expectations.

Assume that means he posts here. What is his name?

Exactly. Very fair. And finally a reason for the BTT to exist!

If you leave it to the AD's they will screw this up the same way they screwed us out of an appearance in the Big 10 Football Championship Game by over riding the Rule they established weeks earlier. Given the opportunity, this Group could screw up a One Car Funeral by sending it down a dead end alley.

They didn't screw us out of anything. OSU is just better than us; would beat us 10 out of 10 games, especially with Penix on the sideline. We couldn't beat Ole Miss.

He wasn’t arguing that, at all.

“Reading is fundamental.”

Reading is fundamental, try it. They did change the rules for a reason.

You weren’t arguing contra the quoted post. You had your own, very *special* point to make, which had no bearing on the discussion.

Life on the spectrum isn’t easy, I’m sure.

GFY.

EDIT. Made “GFY” a coda rather than prefatory. More lyrical that way.
