Ohio State has a few tough road games this season, and one in particular at Southern Cal. At this point, OSU stands a great chance of returning to the NC game (I can hear America booing now). I hope the nation has enjoyed belittling Ohio State and the Big Ten these past two years because they may not get a chance to do it again for a long time. The 2006 Buckeyes were great, but went into the NC game unprepared, out of shape and over confident. Last years Buckeyes made too many mental mistakes to beat a seasoned LSU team (5 personal fouls, are you kidding me!?). This years team has quality, quantity, experience and will be great. IF OSU returns to the NC game and plays the SEC, it will not look anything like the previous two years, I guarantee it. <BR/><BR/>Besides OSU, I'm really interested to see the rest of the Big Ten this year. Illinois lost a great weapon at RB, but will still be a contender for the Big Ten crown. Wisconsin will also be in the mix and could reach a BCS bowl this year. Indiana is no longer a door mat and might make some noise this year. I don't know what to make of Iowa or Purdue. Iowa could go either way and Purdue will probably end up under acheiving again. <BR/><BR/>The team that has the biggest question mark has got to be Michigan. Can Rich Rod get his offense in place without a run and gun QB? UM lost a lot of offensive talent and experience this past season but they are Michigan. I think Michigan wins anywhere from 4 to 8 games this season, but who knows. Rich Rod hasn't been making a positive impression for himself nationally, how is he being received in Ann Arbor?AndrewJ1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/01534005721988476878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21207445.post-36449145660313876362008-05-27T15:18:00.000-04:002008-05-27T15:18:00.000-04:00Greetings to all.

It's just too laborious for me to keep up with all the BB games and try to predict all those scores, (no disrespect to you, Andy). I'm ready to talk some B10 football following the Spring practices for all the schools.<BR/>The MSU Spartans certainly have been making headlines lately with all the QB's coming and going. I'm happy Nichol has decided to enroll at MSU. He was a much heralded recruit in the past. He chose to go elsewhere but has now returned. I'm not upset with him going elsewhere after we made a coaching change. I'm sorry to lose Foles in all of this though. <BR/>I am hopeful the Spartans can build upon a solid first season under Dantonio. Let's hear from some of you others about your favorite B10 school.

Kansas is the only one that could wrench it up.<BR/><BR/>And, BTW, thanks for the opinion.
