Alright fine&#8230; Here&#8217;s a season preview:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Michigan is always overrated. <\/li><li>Notre Dame is always MORE overrated.  (I know they&#8217;re not Big Ten but I hate them.. and Brady Quinn sucks)<\/li><li>Michigan State has a top 5 defense but an offense that a) probably sucks and b) isn&#8217;t allowed to run any plays until week 12.  <\/li><li>An Ohio State University has a new coach and a QB transfer who hasn&#8217;t started and lost 4 O-Line starters&#8230; they&#8217;ll be fine.  <\/li><li>Wisconsin&#8217;s season rests solely on whether or not their coach remembers that the player on his team named Jonathan Taylor is a Running Back and not a child actor from the 90&#8217;s television show &#8220;Home Improvement&#8221; starring Tim Allen.  <\/li><li>Nebraska is now in year 2 of Scott Frost.  They started out last season 0-6 but some of turned out to be bad luck\/tough schedule&#8230;  They finished the season 4-8 but weren&#8217;t as bad as their record.  They should improve and could be good this year&#8230; Nebraska&#8217;s chances at a trip to Indy depend somewhat significantly on Wisconsin&#8217;s coach remembering that the player on his team named Jonathan Taylor is a Running Back and not a child actor from the 90&#8217;s television show &#8220;Home Improvement&#8221;  starring Tim Allen.   <\/li><li>Purdue started the season to be the first ever Big Ten team to lose to Eastern Michigan***.  Then they went on a run that included crushing An Ohio State  University and causing Marcus Ray to declare them the best team in the big ten****  Then they sucked.  Do they have an X-Ray machine yet?<\/li><li>Northwestern still has Pat Fitzgerald.<\/li><li>Iowa is going to go 9-3 so Kirk Ferentz can keep his job without anyone complaining.<\/li><li>Minnesota&#8230; I don&#8217;t remember who this team is because Delaney is a jackass and makes Michigan play Wisconsin 5 years in a row while the brown jug gets out about as often as the world cup.<\/li><li>Maryland&#8230; Have they recruited that girl that shotgunned a beer with her face?  No?  Then who cares?<\/li><li>Penn State headed toward &#8220;suck&#8221; real quick.  James Franklin is an idiot and he doesn&#8217;t have his genius coaching staff to hide this anymore.  He iced his own kicker last year&#8230; He can recruit though  They may end up with 8 or 9 wins mostly because their schedule is garbage.  Their non-conference games are Idaho, Buffalo, and Pitt (I bet they lose either to Buffalo or Pitt).<\/li><li>Illinois hopefully will be slightly better than &#8220;almost as bad as Rutgers&#8221;<\/li><li>Indiana&#8230; I miss Chaos team.<\/li><li>Rutgers is not in the big ten.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hope you all lose early!
