How bad will the Big 10 do?

• Puddle Jumper

  

  Minnesota is the only team that should have a sure win for the Big 10.
  I say the worst they could do is 1-6
  The best they could do 3-4
  What does everyone else think.

  Winless?
• rocket31

  i actually predicted 1-6 last year (on the other huddle) and was correct...
  
  i see a better showing this season at 4-3
• devil1197

  I think the B10 will have a good year imo. They have some decent matchups with their strengths. My thoughts:
  
  OSU gets a win against Oregon in the Rose Bowl
  Wisconsin beats Miami with Clay on the ground and Tolzien through the air. This team is pretty good imo.
  Iowa beats GT with a ton of time to scout the triple option. Iowa has some good defensive guys to shut down the run.
  PSU beats LSU, pretty evenly match team Clark has a solid day and the PSU defense makes some big plays.
  Minnesota beats Iowa State
  
  Northwestern loses to Auburn
  MSU gets killed by TT with a mismatch and suspensions.
  
  Final record 5-2.

  Rose Bowl: Ohio State vs. Oregon
  Orange Bowl: Iowa vs. Georgia Tech
  Capital One Bowl: Penn State vs. LSU
  Outback Bowl: Northwestern vs. Auburn
  Champs Sports Bowl: Wisconsin vs. Miami (FL)
  Alamo Bowl: Michigan State vs. Texas Tech
  Insight Bowl: Minnesota vs. Iowa State
  
  Line up any conference against that lineup and they will have a tough time.

  Texas Tech is 4th place in the Big XII. The Big Ten is playing up in 3 bowls.

  Fixed it. Put Iowa State as the Big 12 #8 and then did it again with Texas Tech by mistake.
• hoops23

  

  I also see 5-2.
  
  However, 4-3 is the worst.
  
  As long as OSU, Wisky, PSU, and Iowa win, the Big Ten will have some positives for them..
• ytownfootball

  

  Hope I'm wrong but I'm thinking 3-4
• devil1197

  That match up for MSU blows lol.
  
  I truly think overall the B10 is better this year. Iowa will have Stanzi and Robinson 100% by their bowl game, should be 11-1 instead of 10-2.
  
  The top B10 teams have good match ups. OSU, Wisconsin, Iowa, and PSU all have great chances to win.

  Rose Bowl: Ohio State vs. Oregon
  Orange Bowl: Iowa vs. Georgia Tech
  Capital One Bowl: Penn State vs. LSU
  Outback Bowl: Northwestern vs. Auburn
  Champs Sports Bowl: Wisconsin vs. Miami (FL)
  Alamo Bowl: Michigan State vs. Texas Tech
  Insight Bowl: Minnesota vs. Iowa State
  
  I see 3-4, but there are several toss ups.
• ytownfootball

  

  I'm not certain Iowa will fare well against the triple option. And yeah MSU sill most likely get rolled.
• hoops23

  

  I'm surprised you're picking the Buckeyes Mulva...
  
  You're usually a Debbie Downer.

  Man they have some tough games...I see em at 3-4

  Its an offense that a team can truly develop a solid defensive game plan against.
  
  Iowa is physical on defense which will be great. LSU had plenty of time to develop a plan to stop the option, look what happened.

  I wouldn't say I'm a Debbie Downer, I'm just not a total homer.
  
  The Indians lost 97 games. The Browns are 1-11. It's tough not to be a downer when talking about those teams (I actually overestimated both of them, picked the Indians 2nd in the division before the year and 4-5 wins for the Browns).
  
  OSU is actually good. Not hard at all to be positive about them. I think they're better than Oregon.
  
  I'm a realist. When you're a Cleveland fan that makes you look like a pessimist a lot of the time, but I just call em how I see em.
• rocket31

  vegas opened that game at: gatech (-3.5) at iowa
  
  ...only big ten game on board so far.
  
  
  cincy +11 vs florida
  bama -4.5 vs texas
  
  are other games of interest...
• Rotinaj

  

  That Cincy Florida game will get a ton of play with that line.
• dwccrew

  

  Rose Bowl: Ohio State vs. Oregon = Ohio State wins
  Orange Bowl: Iowa vs. Georgia Tech = GA Tech wins
  Capital One Bowl: Penn State vs. LSU = LSU wins
  Outback Bowl: Northwestern vs. Auburn = Auburn wins
  Champs Sports Bowl: Wisconsin vs. Miami (FL) = Miami (FL) wins
  Alamo Bowl: Michigan State vs. Texas Tech = TT wins
  Insight Bowl: Minnesota vs. Iowa State = Minnesota wins
  
  I only see a 2-5 bowl record. Some tough match ups. At best I see the Big 10 going 3-4 with maybe Iowa winning.

  Better jump it now it will drop like a rock.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  It will probably end up around +14 before kickoff.
