GRR: College Men
Michigan State clinched the #1 seed out of the Big 10 East going into the Big 10 semifinals with a convincing 32-19 victory over rivals Michigan State.
This is the annual rivalry match between the two teams, known as the Battle for the Mitten, and with the result MSU is 3-0 in Big 10 East action.
With Allegheny entering their playoffs and with the Great Midwest figuring out who will be in their playoffs, this is an important weekend.
Friday's Illinois State vs Northwestern game followed by Sunday's Loyola vs Northwestern makes it a massive weekend for the Wildcats.
It's on.
The big game.
The bragging rights match.
Louisville beat Bowling Green in Louisville a year ago and that result helped launch the Cardinals to a conference championship. This time around the game is at Bowling Green. BGSU is smarting from a loss at Notre Dame last week, but they could just now be hardened for the clash.
Huge weekend in major college sports.
Here's what this means.
We talked a lot about the NCR D1 playoff picture and for Queens University, this weekend's meeting with Life University could carry a lot of weight. If the Royals do well, they are better positioned for a playoff spot.
BYU is of course leading the Rocky Mountain Conference, but the question remains whether anyone can push them.
The Cougars beat a very strong Utah State team 54-3 and look to launch from there in the next couple of weeks.
