Nice bounce pass!!!
You aren't going to win an argument when you stance is that the B1G is a tough league this year. It simply isn't, but by all means continue tossing up those softballs, I need the BP

Ya that sucked
I am not trying to argue SOS, I am saying, we have the best venues in the BIG. Its hard to play in this conference. Metrics wont show that.
Man, that could have helped, whatever they call it, for NU. Damn
We need to just take care of our own business and win Sunday then beat Michigan.
Indeed. I like NU's chances. It just sucks that the current system favors teams from smaller conferences. NU is a good team.
I’ve been fearing that Kansas game is going to cost us on selection Sunday hope I’m wrong.
Hey man, according to those astute FS1 announcers tonight, Indiana is "the surprise team" of the Big Ten this year.Indiana not a bad team. They couldn’t win 12 or 13.
The B1G isn’t strong this year. Everyone knows this. But applaud Nebraska for winning the games. There are only 4 teams in conference who also took care of business.
Penn State is a nice team, right? They didn’t find a way to win 12 or 13. Indiana not a bad team. They couldn’t win 12 or 13. Same with Maryland.
There is something to racking up these wins no matter how down the conference is.
Before I head out @scarletred
You are my bro. You have been since back in the day of Soundoff. True good and stay healthy my friend.
And watch 12 Bars, the Eric Clapton movie. Good stuff.
Is the sound off a pay site now? Haven’t been able to post there in a while.
I believe so, but yahoo got hacked, and now they want tabs on everyone. I knew this day was coming. Nothing is truly free. Besides our spirit.
Really thanks for the info. See you in Omaha for the B1G baseball tournament.

That is 1 sport I'd want no part of officiating. It moves so fast. So, props to you sir! People only need to try to officiate the sport they are complaining about to develop a little empathy for those who do it.I see you tagged me. I was busy. What happened?
I'm a referee. I have a perspective on the game on a different level than you and most other people. I try to share that perspective with people who are honest about wanting to know what we're looking at (and not looking at) and why we may have decided to not call something. You seem a little salty about that. We miss plays. Every game. It's part of the game that will never go away.
I've done it. Quite a bit in fact. I got out of it because of exactly what I am saying. 99% of those guys would rather cover for each other than get it right or admit they were wrong. When you go to ref school and the first thing they tell you is to never question another ref, the system has no chance.That is 1 sport I'd want no part of officiating. It moves so fast.

I think I’m already convinced unless you’re suggesting I’ve got some Freudian stuff going on.You trying to convince us, or yourself?
Just curious. We all agree we have won alot of games. But the SOS and RPI don't really lie.I think I’m already convinced unless you’re suggesting I’ve got some Freudian stuff going on.
If SOS and RPI were everything, there would be no need for a committee. There would be no howling after selection Sunday, which there is every year.Just curious. We all agree we have won alot of games. But the SOS and RPI don't really lie.
That's not happening. Sig bet?If SOS and RPI were everything, there would be no need for a committee. There would be no howling after selection Sunday, which there is every year.
The reality is that the committee doesn’t always follow what the masses and numbers say. And many cases, when they’ve gone against the obvious numbers play, the teams who narrowly made it in have shown they were worthy selections.
Time will tell, but I still believe with a win tomorrow over Penn State, that Nebraska’s name will be called.
We need to just take care of our own business and win Sunday then beat Michigan.
I already have a $100 bet on it with someone on here.That's not happening. Sig bet?
I think the SOS evidence is skewed dramatically and based almost solely on the non-conference early season games. We all know that teams can change dramatically as the season goes on and so can the strength of a conference. That's why we often have a conference that was supposedly weak rise up and have multiple teams win games in the tourney. To wit, the B1G not too long ago. IMO, the B1G's bottom tier of teams have improved dramatically as the season wore on. JMHO.That's not happening. Sig bet?
Beat PSU and I don't see how they keep NU out. There would have to be awfully strong evidence to put some bottom feeder B10 or SEC team in ahead of them.If SOS and RPI were everything, there would be no need for a committee. There would be no howling after selection Sunday, which there is every year.

Who are you including in the bottom tier? Illinois, Rutgers and Iowa are a combined 2-17 in the month of February.IMO, the B1G's bottom tier of teams have improved dramatically as the season wore on. JMHO.
I know the records may not be great. I watch to see how teams are playing and how they compete. Did you watch Illinois play Purdue the other day? Those teams all have pretty good talent and if they get hot from 3 can play with anybody. Iowa's young guys didn't play very well this year but they have talent. There isn't a single team I consider a gimme in the B1G this year. Not one. Even with the loss to Illinois on the road, I think the run NU has gone on is remarkable. Obviously it would be better if they had beaten Purdue or MSU during that run but they did pound a pretty good Michigan team. I'm not saying it's because of Miles but at least he hasn't screwed it up.Who are you including in the bottom tier? Illinois, Rutgers and Iowa are a combined 2-17 in the month of February.
So how have Rutgers and Iowa been playing and competing? And yes I saw Illinois play Purdue, but a close loss to Purdue isn't going to keep this trio of teams from dragging down the Big Ten's status this season.I know the records may not be great.

Wish that were true, but I just don't see the Huskers getting all that much love for beating the #85 RPI team at home. But I do think winning today and one win in the tournament would be enough to get NU into the field.I saw that PSU is listed as one of the last 4 out. Huh? Either way, good news for you guys because you will have a chance to pick up another quality win today.
