Big Ten Board (Beta)

Perfect storm for UofM last year and their schedule. I don't see them getting more then eight wins and have them pegged for seven. Their best win last year was beating a Nebraska team that was REALLY struggling and beating a 6 win Ohio State team.

The Alabama game will be very ugly.

I am away from comp will respond to some of the comments later keep bringing criticism -- both valid and from yur heart lol

Ohio St. at 12 you've lost your mind.

Pegged for seven? I feel like that is the worst case scenario. Michigan has a tough schedule, but seven wins means absolutely EVERYTHING would have to go wrong for Michigan. I think Michigan will win at least two against MSU, OSU, Nebraska, and ND.

MSU will lose 3+ games next year. 1 will be to tOSU.

That may have been an oversight ... slip them into the extras. Mizzou was 8-5 last year and moves up to the SEC. It helps they are in the lesser East, although South Carolina and Georgia should be tough.

I look at Missouri as an 8-4 team. They figure to lose to Ga and Alabama at home and at South Carolina. If they can win one or 2 of the three road games at Fla, Tenn or Texas A&M, that would be great. They did win at TAM in OT last year.

I have respect for Franklin and Pinkel quietly has been as effective as almost anybody the last 6-8 years. I deliberated long and hard about Mizzou. I just thought moving to SEC has 7-5 written all over it.

They have a system that just keeps winning games ... that's how. The names change, but the results are usually the same (10-2 or better)

I like Wisconsin. Just 2 linemen coming back on offense, 6 new assistant coaches, new QB. I like O'Brien, but he was up and down a lot at Maryland last year.

The schedule is good for Wisconsin, which doesn't play Michigan. I just think they aren't on the same level as last year. Wilson was a special cat. Ball is a great runner, but defenses had to account for Wilson. That won't be the case this year. It's either a run or O'Brien sitting in pocket, no freelance to account for.

Gonna be a fun year. As I've said, move Wisconsin directly to Indy.

I watched 5 of their spring practices and they seem greatly improved. Even the receiver play isn't as bad as it''s being made out to be. Miller is a different guy in this offense. Simon is a beast on defense.

They were 6-7 last year, but they were probably the best 6-7 team in college football. They defeated Wisconsin (albeit on somewhat of a Hail Mary).

They got rolled at Miami, no doubt about that.

The team had no discernible leadership. That was apparent as they lost 6 games by a TD or less. They lost to MSU by 3 at home. Had Neb beat there and let them off hook and lost by 7. Missed a late PAT at Purdue, went OT and lost by 3 there. Penn state lost at home by 6 (that one they were never in it). Lost at Michigan by 6 in a touch-and-go type game. Lost to Florida by 7, outplaying the Gators 6 ways from Tuesday at scrimmage but giving up blocked punt and kick return for touchdowns.

There is something there. Just figuring out how to win is the key. 12 is about right. They end up roughly 10-2 or 9-3.

I don't feel like an OSU homer, I really don't. I try and look at things objectively. If I'm off on something, tell me what you think I'm missing and why I'm wrong.

Why's that? Lost 6 games by a TD or less last year. They have (some) talent.

Yes, yes he has..Even with their weak schedule no way they are 12.
