    Big Ten Championship Preview

    Wisconsin vs. Ohio State

    Venue: Lucas Oil Stadium
    Location: Indianapolis, Indiana
    TV/Time: FOX, 8:00 p.m. ET

    Betting Odds: Ohio State -16, Total 56.5

    Wisconsin clinched the Big Ten West last Saturday with a 38-17 win over Minnesota in Minneapolis. The Badgers picked up an easy cover (Wisconsin was -2.5) and the game went over the total (45). The Badgers led 10-7 at half and they were struggling to run the ball (only 66 yards rushing) with Minnesota selling out to stop Jonathan Taylor. Because of that, Wisconsin coaches made an offensive adjustment and took some shots downfield with QB Jack Coan completing 4 passes in the 2nd half for 161 yards (40+ yards per completion)! They scored TD’s on each of their 4 second half possessions to pull away for an easy win.

    In un-Wisconsin like fashion, they threw for 280 yards in the Minneapolis snowstorm while rushing for just 173 yards. QB Jack Coan continued his efficient play as he now ranks 3rd in the nation completing 72% of his passes. The defense was struggling a bit coming into this game having allowed nearly 900 yards on more than 7.0 YPP their previous 2 games vs Nebraska & Purdue. They righted the ship last Saturday holding a potent Minnesota offense to 372 total yards including just 76 yards on the ground. After the Gophs first drive of the game (2-plays for 51-yards and a TD) the UW defense limited them to only 4.9 YPP the rest of the way.

    This will be Wisconsin’s 6th appearance in the nine-year history of the Big Ten Championship.

    Ohio State continues their onslaught on the sportsbooks easily covering last week @ Michigan. Their 56-27 win as a 9-point favorite marked the Buckeyes 9th cover in 12 games this season. When they cover, the cover BIG. All but one of their 9 ATS wins have come by at least 17 points with an average cover margin of 20.6 PPG in those 9 games. Last Saturday the offense continued to roll with almost 600 yards of total offense on a very good Michigan defense. OSU outgained the Wolverines by 182 yards which was actually their lowest YPG margin of the season which speaks to their dominance this season

    Oregon (+6.5) up 20-0 with 4:56 in the half, whoa. I thought that this would be the Utes coming out game.

    Oregon has out coached and out executed tough Utah.

    I just noticed that there are no real close games in the conference championships this year.  All are +6 and up.  Upsets anyone ?

    As for Luke Fickell, Yep, he has a bright future ahead. Am sure Day would like him out of Ohio & away from Day's future recruits.. I hit the sack somewhere in 4th after a Oregon big run for a score..Ended up 37-15 Oregon..Holy Hell, I would love to watch Chase Young against that Oregon LT?..But, Chase & Bucks has larger bowl plans than Rose Bowl..

    Oregon's LT is Penel Sewell from Samoa..He's only a Sophomore😛 (can't help Browns now) Not given up a sack at LT in college..Won tons of awards as a 4 star..6'6 325 & those Nike Oregon Jersey must eat 15 lbs of weight cause I don't see 325. He's built like a Tank. Kid has great feet but the Samoan may not get a great NFL grade because of strong ass stubby short* Arms..Saw some Road/grading Mauler in him too..Should have 1 heck of a Junior season

    With Utah's loss and Oklahoma beating Baylor twice this season (today by 7 in OT), Oklahoma will play #1 OSU unless Ga. gives LSU a close loss. In that case who knows whether it would be Ok. or LSU.

    LSU will probably be the #1 seed and play #4 OU.

    OSU gets dangerous Clemson unless they can bury Wisconsin at 8 pm.

    I agree. You should get less consideration if you play FCS teams.  There are enough teams to play against without playing those FCS schools

    Beyond that, as I said elsewhere.......Georgia has been the most vastly overrated team in the country this year.

    Wisconsin (and Penn St. and Michigan) would whip Ga.s ass two ways to Sunday if they played.

    We will find out soon enough, the #1 seeding is really important this year because #1 2 3 teams are all tough you don't want a faceoff in round 1.

    It should be a close vote.
