Analzying Big Ten FB Schedules for All League Teams

[JonDMiller]

I dont see any clear powerhouse team in the B10 Legends...so at that point, I look for the fewest weaknesses and who has balanced strength. I think Nebraska has the most balance returning from a team that did some things last year. Michigan returns a lot of starters again, but this program is changing offensive and defensive schemes, new coaching staff, trying to put Rich Rod personnel in a pro-style offense, etc..will believe that when I see it.

Some are talking up MSU...we'll see how their defense is this year...should have a good ground game but some key losses on the OL. Good QB.

I hope Michigan St is a preseason favorite. And then I wish I could go to Vegas and bet against them. They WILL NOT compete for a division title. They had one of the easiest schedules in D1 last year. They got on a bit of a roll with some extremely good luck. They got absolutely destroyed by the only 2 good teams they played away from home. 7-5 is likely, 8-4 if they are lucky. Book it.

Ah, so is Nebby. Not a HC but everyone else.

I give credit, Nebby has some talent and a decent coach. I could very well see them and the Hawks fighting it out for our division. I have done about as much research on as many teams as my mind could handle, and I think we could be sitting pretty good this year (if we stay healthy). I think when we go to NE, KF is really going to need to control the situation for the week prior and prepare them kids well. If he does that we will start this new "rivalry" out on the right foot.
I know Wisky had some talent grad, but I also see them doing well this year. I think OH is going to implode and wont even make it to the title game. IA or NE plays Wiskey in title game. I give the edge to Iowa right now, after Nebby gets thru a few B1G games I will re-evaluate that. HOWS THAT FOR BOLD.
