B1G Discussion

What are your guys' thoughts on the upcoming season? I think it will be Wisconsin vs. Nebraska in the Conference championship game with Wisconsin winning and making a second straight trip to Pasedena.

Knowing Wisconsin we will lose that one game that we shouldn't have, or just one good game. It will be interesting to see how Nebraska does in their first Big Ten season. But I think they will do alright. Ohio State will probably have a tougher year with the loss of Pryor and still losing arguably their next best 4 starters for the first five games. Along with losing Tressel and bringing in a new coach I don't know how they will do.

I don't see Hoke doing anything special in Ann Arbor and Joe Pa's lions aren't strong enough to contend. Also, I will be surprised if Michigan State can do as well this year as they did last.

Anyways, what are your guys predictions for the 2011-2012 Big Ten season?

That's what I was thinking, Nebraska vs Wisconsin

Re: B1G Predictions

I'd be surprised if it's any other matchup. I originally had Nebraska winning the conference, but with Russell Wilson going to Wisconsin, they're likely the favorite now.

Re: B1G Predictions

Wisconsin and Nebraska will be the most likely matchup in the Championship game. I will give the edge to Wisconsin in that matchup right now. It depends a lot on how quickly Wilson can adjust in Wisconsin. The October 1st matchup should be a great game.

My darkhorse team is Northwestern. Missing Ohio State and Wisconsin helps. If Dan Persa can stay healthy I can see the Wildcats having a strong year.

Re: B1G Predictions

I'm gonna throw in my usual vote for Iowa as a darkhorse

My standings look very similar except I would switch Iowa and Michigan State. And also I have Wisconsin over Nebraska in the CCG.

You think both Iowa and Michigan State will overcome the Huskers? I could only see that happening if Nebraska really fails to adjust. Other than that I think that they are as close to a lock as you can get for a division champion.

Re: B1G Predictions

Ohio State over Nebraska

After last years *** kicking, i think Ohio State plays well in The Shoe against Wisconsin. Plus i dont have the will power to predict wisconsin as Leaders champ.

[GatorChomp2345]

I could see how the Buckeyes could play well against Wisconsin, but I just can't see them beating them. I think the Badgers are actually going to play as well as they did last year. Plus, we now have a game changer with Wilson coming. Though i think that they would have won the division even without him.

Re: B1G Predictions

Wisconsin will win the Big Ten(+2). I have no idea who they will play in the championship, either Michigan State or Nebraska, won't matter, they beat either.

Re: B1G Predictions

B1G predictions huh?

I have one: This thread will be more civil than the SEC Predictions thread.

Spoiler

In all seriousness though, I'm with Buckeyes_Doc on the conference standings. Just flip IU and Purdue.

Re: B1G Predictions

I don't think IU finishes last, and Illinois is my darkhorse.
