Badgers and Wolverines Fight for Big Ten

The Big Ten looks to be a little tougher to pick this year, with a much improved Michigan squad, a consistently good Wisconsin team, and a quality Nebraska and Michigan State, to go with a much better coached Ohio State team that could be a spoiler in their probation season.

In the Legends Division we look for Michigan to win it, while Wisconsin is our pick in the Leaders Division, and we predict the Badgers will come out on top for a trip to Pasadena and the Rose Bowl.

LEGENDS

1. Michigan

2. Nebraska

3. Michigan State

4. Iowa

5. Northwestern

6. Minnesota

LEADERS

1. Wisconsin

2. Ohio State

3. Purdue

4. Penn State

5. Illinois

6. Indiana

While the Buckeyes will no doubt be back soon, the news couldn’t be much worse for Penn State. With a devastating probation from the NCAA it will be difficult for the Nittany Lions to compete in the next decade. As for a team on the rise, look for Purdue’s program to be much better this season, and the Boilermakers are heading in the right direction.
