Washington at Michigan will a big game for us. Its good to give Michigan a loss but then we play Washington full of confidence and only 1 loss to #1 OSU.

Also will Maryland be UCLA's next victim or will UCLA be caught now that the surprise of them playing up to potential has worn off.

The Huskies are either going to be full of confidence or full of desperation. We’ve got to beat them either way. They’re a very talented team prone to occasional brain farts, similar USC. They’ve lost only one game at Husky Stadium since the 2021 season, to the Buckeyes. A win there will be huge for the Illini resume.

Vandy will be interesting to track. 5-1 ranked @ 17 is an almost identical spot to where you guys were last week in the AP. If LSU beats them by a couple scores I’m interested to see if they stay consistent and drop them completely out of the rankings or not.

Hypothetical playoff scenario for y'all....

-SEC keeps beating each other up and everyone ends up with 2+ losses. This also means whoever loses the SEC Championship will have 3 losses.

-tOSU, Oregon, and IU keep dominating and all of them go 12-0 or 11-1. Plus, at least 2 other B1G teams finish 10-2 (hopefully we are one of them).

Would the B1G get more teams in than the SEC? I'm rooting for this scenario to play out because I'm interested to see how the committee would handle it.

Whoever wins I hope for a very tough, physical game where Washington limps into our game.

Root for all the teams we played to keep winning and as hard as it is to say: Go Hawkeyes. Just love to see those arrogant Ped U fans humbled.

It's a surgery they have started using now for high ankle sprains. It's done to help repair the ligaments connecting the tibia and fibula just above the ankle joint.

We should definitely be rooting for USC to stomp Notre Dame this weekend. Gives ND third loss and makes our win over USC look even better. We’ll be recruiting against ND for a lot of players and finishing this year with a better record than them has to help.
Think I’d prefer Washington to lose to Michigan. A blow to their confidence, and may show weaknesses we can exploit next week.
