I know it is early but...

OSU's defense should be really good this year. They just have questions on the offensive line and how Zwick is going to adjust to being the starting QB this season. They need Ross to step it up and play to the potential he showed as a freshman or a freshman RB will get a chance this season.

I would try Purdue. They are by no means the favorite in the Big 10 and they have a fun offensive playbook and a pretty neat stadium and fight song. They also have the cannons going off.

Really how many games have you watched these teams play so far this year? None. You never know in college football anymore. I hope Michigan's defense looks better than it did in the Rose Bowl last year.

None, but neither has the guy who said Minny would win the Big Ten. If he can post his opinion on it why can't I? The point is it's all opinions. Mine is based on projections just like his is. The only difference is mine is based on current and recruited talent projections whereas his is based more on wishful thinking Sure it's true, Ohio State and/or Michigan either one could go and lose every game this year and Minnesota could go undefeated or anywhere in between but from a talent level projection and past performance last year my projection is a bit more of a realistic one I believe.

You really didnt post an opinion other than the Minny guy was wrong as if you knew more. Ohio St. and Michigan are far from locks to win that conference this year.

I wouldn't try Purdue. The O-Coordinater (Chaney) only likes to throw the ball 8-9 yards at a time, plus they lost 8 or 9 starters on defense. They get Michigan and Ohio State at home, but they have to travel to Happy Valley, Iowa, and Notre Dame. Fourth or Fifth at best in the big ten this year.
