OF COURSE THERE CAN BE A TIE
toughest team to predict is PSU, losing Robinson is huge and they will find this out.
12 days and a bit for B-1O openers and 14 days and a bit for first home game for Boilers
As usual Andy, a supberb breakdown. Here's how BTSF (with the help of my wife, Dale) sees things playing out before the bowls:
Ohio State 12-0
Iowa 12-0
MSU 11-1
U-M 11-1
Penn State 10-2
Wisconsin 10-2
Minnesota 9-3
Purdue 9-3
Northwestern 8-4
Illinois 8-4
Indiana 7-5
Dude, you are certifiably crazy. It is impossible for two teams that play each other to go unbeaten.
My initial predictions:
T1 Iowa 11-1, 7-1
T1 Michigan 10-2, 7-1
T1 Ohio State 10-2, 7-1
T4 Wisconsin 9-3, 5-3
T4 Purdue 9-4, 5-3
T6 Michigan State 7-5, 4-4
T6 Penn State 7-5, 4-4
8 Northwestern 5-7, 2-6
T9 Illinois 4-8, 1-7
T9 Indiana 4-8, 1-7
T9 Minnesota 4-8, 1-7
With Walker's untimely death, I would change the IL-NU game to an Illinois win (thus switching Illinois and Northwestern). My biggest upset picks are Indiana over Wisconsin and Michigan State over Notre Dame. Final comment: if any of Iowa, Michigan or Ohio State can sweep the other two, that team has a real shot at the NC game.
