eddy4iu Posted October 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 And Wisconsin game unlikely to happen but even if it does no Mertz. Will OSU be decimated for their game too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a matter of time haha. I’d be very surprised if we play Wisconsin next week though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatShot Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I've already braced myself for Purdue reaching the Big Ten title game. If they get there without having to play Wisconsin, hopefully most people would see through it and not see it as some tremendous accomplishment.

I did expect them to be decent this year, including before Covid spun the season into a mess. Even without playing the top dogs , I feel like they could fare decent against top East teams since they're capable of explosive scoring plays in a short span. Their D also seems to come up with timely plays and game changing TOs are a key upset ingredient. They can only play the teams scheduled, though so even while agreeing with you that it would not be absolutely spectacular, I'd tip my hat if they actually won the West. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team that handles Covid best this year might just find themselves playing for a championship. You make your own luck.

By worrying and being careful might be the biggest thing they do in trying to go to the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have left a bye week because something like this happening was inevitable. Really dumb waiting so long to start the season.

If there were no CFP then I could have envisioned a B1G bye week or a "make-up game grace period" after the scheduled games in this COVID gutted year. Not that I know, nor have a clue how they arrived at the decision to do it this way, but I can picture big time executives from the B1G, CFP, and OSU meeting and the talk being about minimum to get Ohio State a chance at making it in . Lol While I'm on this subject of postseason - does anyone else worry that(without a top tier record) there might not be enough bowls for IU to get the nod over a more traditionally powerful program if too many bowls close down? Apologies if it is elsewhere, but I just saw where the Holiday Bowl aren't having a game. I wonder which other sponsors might perceive a deteriorating situation and be too unwilling to risk the potential perception of their company name tied to promoting a risk of infection.

Then someone said hamsting. Not sure anyone outside of the locker room knows for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
