Posted 12 hours ago12 hr Administrator We are all aware of how the super-close games can determine your Playoff or Championship destiny, but what happened in our new conference last season would be hard to believe–unless we witnessed it. B1G teams played 162 conference games in 2024 and an astounding 31 games, or 32.25%, (roughly a third of total games!) that were One Score games, games decided ...A 2025 BIG Question: Who Wins the Close Ones?

5 hours ago5 hr Administrator Great research Jon, as I had NO idea that so many B1G games were so close. Superb examples you cite! Mr. FishDuck
5 hours ago5 hr Moderator Thank you, Charles, for another superb editing job.When researching this article, it occurred to me that Lincoln Riley may have been better off staying later with the Sooners and playing SEC competition, or perhaps the Trojans should play all of their games in Las Vegas? The bookend wins against LSU and Texas A&M in the LV Raiders Allegiant Stadium were both hard-fought games that went down to the wire. The type of game that SC consistently lost to B1G opponents, including losses to Minnesota, Maryland, and Washington teams playing without Blue Chip Rosters.In 2025, no team wants to flip the road record more than the Trojans—4 road losses with the one win coming in Pasadena against UCLA. OBD was the only Left Coast newbie in 2024 that found success two and three time zones away. SC should find road wins on the road at Purdue and Northwestern, but road games against Illinois and especially, OBD, will be difficult, as will a road game against No. 6 Notre Dame. There is a chance that No. 30 SC could travel to Eugene for the penultimate game of the regular season, and play No. 7 OBD with B1G things on the line in-conference, and Big things on the line playoff-wise. Then again, there is also a chance that Lincoln Riley could be Fighting On for his job?Football Saturday's in the air, Bag them Cats!
3 hours ago3 hr Moderator Brent Pry of Virginia Tech may have the current record of losing one score games, at least by the percentage of losses. His current record stands at 1 - 9. That record does not endear a coach to its fans.Nebraska has to be in the running for losing that type of game as well.
