Big10 Predictions/ Top 25 Predicitions

[chrisdixon]

I did something out my comfort zone and did a Big10 Predictions Blog. Being from the South East I try to keep a focus on just SEC/ACC. But let me know how you think it is.

Top 25 Predictions

Yes, definitely outside of your comfort zone. It would be interesting to understand how you have Wisconsin at 8-4 (6-3 in conference) when they play @Michigan State, Ohio State, and @Michigan before playing @Iowa, Nebraska, and @Northwestern (where they haven't won in 20 years). Which 3 of those do you have them winning? And exactly why you would think Nebraska would go 10-2 and beat Oregon (a top 25 team in the real polls) and you didn't have the balls to rank them in your pre-season. How Iowa is a "surprise" Top 25 team after going 12-2 last year (12-0 during the scheduled season) and ranked in all major pre-season polls. Where Minnesota gets enough offense to go 5-4 in conference when it appears they will have issues scoring points? I won't even bother about how the Cats get to 3-6 as you have us losing every key match-up. I get from your choices that you don't know the teams that well and are using tradition, bowl results, and "feel" to make mainly safe assumptions.

Rubbish. Waste of time. Amateur hour.

Not only outside of your comfort zone, but outside the realm of reality.

Northwestern or Iowa will win the west! Nebraska will lose by twenty or more to Oregon and then come to Evanston and get bamdoozelled! Penn State or Michigan will win the East! Ohio State will lose at least three games! Wisky will lose 4 games,at least!

Penn State ? Are you serious ? Northwestern or Iowa win the West. OSU,MSU, and Michigan are the powers of the East

I never know what to expect form this board. Remember, I don't know you all personally.

Will you be at the tailgate for the first game? Would love to meet you. FYI, wrassler used to wrestle for NU, back in the day. He's a behavioral therapist who loves to post inane things, just to get a reaction. Hard to tell is he's really loony or is he's playing games.

I will be at every home game. I will also be there this weekend. Love to meet you all.

You think I'm joking? PSU will easily have the best ground game/ running game in all the BT! Just google Miles Sanders! They will be a solid team for sure. MSU won't be having a Conner Cook this year behind center.

I jsut saw that Kirk Herbstreit predicted that Minnesota would win the West. I suspect he made this prediction after 2 bottles of Merlot & a shot of Fireball.

To be fair, Minny get MD and Rutgers as their cross-over games, about as easy as you can get. NU gets OSU and MSU. NU could easily be 0-2 while Minny goes 2-0. Makes a difference.
