Ohio St - Michigan. Just like the B10 wanted. There will be a three way tie for first in the west at 5-3.
Judging on returning talent, MSU vs OSU
If Illini RB (LeShaer sp?)comes back next year, I could see them being the darkhorse in the East with NW being the darkhorse in the west if Persa can recover. He may not be over that injury until long after his NW days are past. That's not wishful thinking, that is a devestating injury.

I think I'm done making predictions on Hawkeey football seasons - I'll just wait and enjoy the drama unfolding in real time. BUT if I had to pick a favorite from each division its OSU and MSU (years of following Hawkeye football has ingrained me not to count on them, Nebby has a horrific schedule, UM may be lookign at a coaching change)
Sparty loses some good players on Defense. They will not be going to the Big10 championship. They lose 4 guys on the offensive line (including their TE). They lose Greg Jones their best LB and another Senior LB. They will lose Rucker their best CB and also Hyde their best saftey. They won't be good on defense next year and they will probably have trouble running the ball IMO. With that many losses I just can't see them contending for the Big10 title.
My bet is OSU vs Mich, Neb, or Iowa.
Mich should be electric again on offense and I don't see how they can get any worse on D.
Key losses for Nebraska are Niles Paul, 3 on the O-line, and their best corner Prince but I think they reload pretty well every year and if Crick returns they shouldn't have a problem on the Dline.
If JVB can live up to his hype I could see the offense being better than it was this year. Biggest loss on offense is DJK but Iowa never utilized him as much as they could have last year so not sure we will really see a huge drop off at the WR position especially since McNutt should be returning. Only ? on D is the Dline but there are some promising newcomers. The LB corps should be better considering all the injuries this year and there is really no huge loss in the secondary.
