Next Two Games

[REDZONEDAN]

Obviously the perfect scenario would be to win both.  I believe we need to at least split our next two games.  Which scenario would be best to keep our dreams alive?  A Tier 1 win at OSU and a bad loss at Rutgers, or a loss at OSU and a win at Rutgers?

If the option was "beat OSU but lose to Iowa" my answer would be different.

Since OSU absolutely CREAMED us the first few years in the Conference, it's always nice to beat those A-holes.

Since we have to split, IMO a road win vs OSU does more good for us than a road loss at Rutgers does us harm.

both road games, but I think meeting expectations is slightly more important than not meeting them. i'd take the OSU loss (it's a  good loss) and the Rutgers win (to still get a road win AND avoid a bad loss). 

 

But really, we're winning this scenario either way, frankly.

If you had to swerve to miss rear ending a school bus, but it caused you to run over Jean on the sidewalk, would you risk injuring kids on the bus, killing Jean, or, a third option, taking a hard left and mowing down kidney?

I plugged both scenario's in to RPI Wizard along with how I think we will finish and both came out to be us finishing at #70 RPI.  So with that in mind, I think you are right.  Win at Ohio St would be better.

I think RPI is the starting point for the committee and then they start looking at  those RPI buckets. Having some/a win in bucket 1 would be helpful.
