Northwestern is a for sure loss. They won't be able to score enough. I think Michigan will win. Illinois and msu will lose.

Northwestern beats Texas Tech if they had Persa. Without him they have no chance. Michigan will surely get humiliated. Zook is an idiot, so I fully expect him to blow another game they should win. The Big Ten needs to play well in their marquee games.

I'm taking MSU....Bama has packed it up for the year. Not in a BCS Bowl is not good enough...MSU is trying to make a statement. Last time Bama came into a Bowl off a loss they got humiliated by Utah.

I'd wager an avatar on that.

Since bowl games have a strange way of becoming bragging rights for the next season, you should probably include Nebraska or at the very minimum be cognizant of them. They will destroy Washington, again.

Big Ten has a chance to make a statement if they can win some games...

Hahaha.

Illinois lost to Fresno St. Baylor will run circles around Illini.
If Persa is still out, Northwestern will lose to TT.
Penn St and Florida is a tossup, depends which Florida and PSU team shows up.
I like Iowa over Mizzou
Michigan has no defense, so Miss St.
MSU and Bama is a toss up, as it depends which teams show up, but I lean MSU.
I like Wisconsin by a lot.
OSU will win by 10-14 points.

So, 4-4, 5-3 to me.

If we include Nebraska, they will win by a lot.
So, 5-4 or 6-3.

Baylor - Illinois should be interesting. Illinois is as up and down as a team can be, but Baylor is a pretender. Their non-conference wins are non-impressive and TCU handed it to them. They have no impressive in-conference wins and some humiliating in-conference losses. Baylor is not a good team.

Toss-up: Michigan State and Penn State.

Losses: Michigan, Illinois and Northwestern (without Persa).

Penn State wont crush Florida.

The best game of the bunch will be Alabama-Michigan State.

I think 4-4 with Ohio State, Wisconsin, Penn State and Illinois winning. Iowa if they play like they played their last 4 games will not beat Missouri, Michigan"s poor defense will make it tough for them to beat Mississippi State, Alabama(if they show Up) will beat Michigan State, and Northwestern without Persa is not a very good team. OSU will win if they can get pressure on Mallet, I think Wisconsin is just physically too strong for a very good TCU team, Illinois should beat Baylor because Baylor sucks, and Penn State should be able to beat a poor Florida team which was getting worse at the end of the season.
