This looks quite about right except switch Ohio State and Michigan give Michigan one loss overall and give them no losses in the Big Ten and you have yourself a winner

1. Michigan 11-1(8-0)

2. Ohio State 10-2(6-2)

3. Penn State 9-4(6-2)

4. Wisconsin 9-3(5-3)

5. Iowa 8-4(5-3)

9. Northwestern 4-8(1-7)

10. Indiana 3-9(1-7)

11. Illinois 1-11(0-8)

[Seadragon76]

In my dream world...

1. Indiana 8-0

2-9. Don't Care

10. Iowa 0-8 (1-11 Overall because they'll beat Montana)

11. Michigan 0-8 (0-12 Overall)

Dustin welcome to the Real World, the only time Indiana will have a season like that is in 2010 and then they're one and done(see Illinois)

[Cyclopsis Joe]

My predictions? Indiana will win 15 NCAA Championships. Then, it will be revealed that the whole team was robots. So they their 15 titles to the team that was #2 at the end of the year each time. That list is:

Alabama (7 times)

Georgia (7 times)

And just make sure everyone knows I'm telling a joke..

Duke (1 time)

Lloyd's boys will chunk it against Ohio State again. Especially since the game is in the Horse Shoe this year.

[NJTank]

I think you may see Michigan win the Big Ten this year.

[logodawg]

I see Michigan with another subpar season as Carr manages another season of getting the least of his players.

[harperdc]

rose bowl's big 10-pac 10 again this year (as it was intended!), I'm guessing whoever ends up from the Big 11 in there is going to get slaughtered. Oregon, USC, UCLA and Washington St. are all likely Pac-10 candidates to get there and are probably as good a match for the Big 11's representative.

'course, I'm biased....

RE: One and done for Illinois....

You know the earth existed before 5 years ago right?

National Champions: 1914, 1919, 1923, 1927, 1951

Rose Bowl Game Victories: 1946 Rose Bowl, 1951 Rose Bowl, 1963 Rose Bowl

Big Ten Champions: 1910, 1914, 1915, 1918, 1919, 1923, 1927, 1928, 1946, 1951, 1953, 1963, 1983, 1990, 2001

Geez...they've never done anything!

BTW...they will win at least one big ten game this year. Rome wasn't built in a day. Zook's the guy for the job and he's going to turn this program around. He's starting to keep the Chicago Boys in state (which is one of the top 10 areas for High School football in the country), got a good running game right now, and a QB/WR combo of the future in camp as Freshmen.

I would say you have been too positive on Wisconsin. I hope you are right, but with all of their offensive skill players gone, Stocco (who has actually become pretty good) will have nobody to give the ball to. The Defense is not great either. I could be a long year.

[MDesign]

I see Michigan with another subpar season as Carr manages another season of getting the least of his players.

Gotta agree here...Michigan had the worst recruiting year out of the Big Ten Teams. And as long as Lloyd Carr is there, Michigan fans can expect anything BUT greatness.

1. OSU

2. Penn State

3. Michigan

4. Iowa

5. Michigan State

6. Purdue

7. Wisconsin

8. Northwestern

9. Minnesota

10. Indiana

11. Illinois

[DG_ThenNowForever]

My prediction: Joe Paterno will wish he had retired when he was on top. It is way too hard to top what that team was able to do last year.

[STL FANATIC]

Wow, my Illini are really getting torn apart here.

I suppose maybe a last place finish isn't so out of line, but 1-11, 2-10, no Big Ten wins?

Zook brought in a top 30 recruiting class (by most rankings IIRC) and has given this team direction. I'm not counting on drastic improvement this year, but improvement nonetheless. The most encouraging thing last year was after our last game win we finished our miserable season and a pissed off but determined Zook said this will not and cannot happen again.

I'm counting on at least 4 total wins out of the Illini and at least 2 of them being BigTen wins. We'll beat a lower level BigTen team or two and quite possibly pull off an upset or two of one of the big teams.

This is a well coached team that's getting some strong young talent. They won't consistantly do big things throughout the year, but they'll have their moments and games.
