Big Ten Predictions (June)

It's really early, and summer is long and boring. SO why not go through the entire Big Ten schedule and come up with some early predictions? I did!

1. Ohio State 12-0 (8-0) BCS Bowl
2. Michigan 11-1 (10-1) BCS Bowl
3. Wisconsin 10-2 (6-2) Capitol One Bowl
4. Iowa 10-2 (6-2) Outback Bowl
5. Penn State 8-4 (5-3) Champs Sports Bowl
6. Illinois 6-6 (3-5) Alamo Bowl
7. Michigan State 5-7 (3-5)
8. Minnesota 6-6 (2-6) Motor City Bowl
9. Indiana 6-6 (2-6) Insight Bowl
10. Purdue 5-7 (2-6)

Those are probably too optimistic. Not enough non-conference losses for the bottom half of the league.

We differ most significantly on NW and MSU.

did you just come up with that or did you go through the schedule and pick every game?

picked every game.

Who did you have MN beating in the Big Ten...just Indiana?!

Yes. They could beat Purdue and NW or even WI or IA. But my sense is they will struggle on offense, they could even lose to IU, depending on how good Kellen Lewis is. Zero wins would be the bottom, it's hard to imagine four.
