Some snarky comments
How in the world is Mich. Supposed to beat Florida? Iowa lost to florida 30-3 and beat Mich 14-13 last year. By my calculations Florida should beat Mich by 28 points.
If you think Harbaugh is a boring millionaire, you should try watching that movie about Warren Buffet's life. Buffet has go be the most boring rich guy ever.

Florida is dealing with some key suspensions for that game and although it didn't lose quite as much as Michigan to the NFL, it lost a lot.

Liked for your genius/savant level math skill, and your comment about Buffet.

My mom played bridge with Buffet for years.
What? Do I want a cookie?
Yes, I'd like a chocolate chip cookie. Preferably one from Starbucks.

Good predictions Rob, I like that you didn't come in with a predetermined decision. I love most of the stuff that Jon puts out, but his predictions are usually dictated by his expectations adding a loss here or there.
Illinois: I see them as bad team with some potentially talented individuals. I wouldn't be surprised if the w/l are the same, but I could see them beating Minnesota and losing to Rutgers. 2.5-9.5
Indiana: I like the work Wilson had done building the offense, but he's not at the helm anymore so... I really don't know. The new coach is defensive minded so probably a wash. I would not be surprised to see them drop a game to Virginia or Purdue. 4-8
Iowa: I'm a homer, so here goes... Iowa is stacked at O-line, D-line, LB, RB and TE. Parker has a history of producing at DB and defensively Iowa has done well when they have a solid front 7. I see most teams having better WR's about half the teams Iowa plays with better QB.
I expect Iowa to have problems with the style of play that PSU, OSU and NW utilize. I thought Iowa would have done better against PSU last year, I thought they would torch us on O as they have Limegrover (old OC from Minn) and Morehead who is just a great coach, but I thought we could do something on offense (we didn't). I hope things are different this year, but odds aren't good. OSU has Wilson, who put up points against everyone with Indiana talent, and OSU is maybe more talented than Alabama. F NW, though I wouldn't not be surprised if Iowa could win against them.
I believe Wisconsin has a better TE, though I believe Iowa may have a better core. They also likely have better WR's and DB's I give Iowa a slight edge on both lines and advantages in LB, RB and the QB for Wisconsin is just not very good. I give Iowa the edge because of RB. Nebraska has better talent at WR and QB, but given the time of year Iowa is deeper at almost every position and the weather will likely favor Iowa. 9-3
Maryland: Very talented recruiting grounds, there are plenty of talented athletes going to school close to home. Good coach that can also recruit. Trajectory is pointed up, would not be surprised to see them pick off a good team. I see them picking of MSU or Minnesota. 5-7
Michigan: Their Michigan they should be more talented than everyone on their schedule save PSU and OSU. I also give them the benefit over Wisconsin partly from being beat to hell after the Iowa game. 10-2
Michigan State: They should still have a ton of talent, but they are a shit show right now. I could see them doing better, but this looks pretty accurate. 5-7
Minnesota: I know the BTN is very positive when it comes to teams, but damn... they are worried about Minnesota. I them having to start over. I see them beating Buffalo, Middle Tennessee, at Purdue and probably Illinois. 4.5-7.5
Nebraska: I don't see them beating too many teams that have a better line than them. They will be beaten up in the B1G and have some bad games when the weather turns. They should beat Arkansas State, Northern Illinois, Rutgers, Minn, at Illinois and at Purdue. 6-6
Northwestern: Good RB and dual-threat QB a sleeper pick for many people. PSU and at Duke look like the only losses. 10-2
OSU: Probably the best team in the country. Wilson did wonders with Indiana talent now with OSU talent... 12-0
PSU: Agreed all around. They should still be in sanctions, disgusting.
Purdue: New coach with a team that wasn't too good last year. I think they will be better in the next few years, but not yet. Their QB will make some plays, but ultimately their schedule is too much. Ohio, Illinois. 2-10
Rutgers: Grant is electric and Iowa may have lost if he had not been injured last year. I could absolutely see him winning them a game. Eastern Michigan, Morgan State, Purdue are likely wins, I could see them stealing another from MSU or Illinois. 3.5-8.5
Wisconsin: I see them losing to Northwestern, BYU, Michigan, and Iowa. Their LB core is messed up and their QB is returning, but nothing special. They should have a good RB with O/D-line on par with Iowa. They will have one of the better defensive backfield in the conference, but nothing special at WR on the offensive side of the ball. 8-4
