I've got Iowa going 9-3 with losses to Michigan, Penn State & Nebraska.

Minnesota I've got going 5-7, with losses to Fresno State, Purdue, Nebraska, Penn State, Iowa, Northwestern & Wiscy.  I know the Fresno State pick is risky, but they're not dissimilar in talent, and it's in California.

Tedford has done an amazing job, but he's replacing his entire offense, save for RB. Tough job to get done early in the season against a strong OOC schedule. Gophers benefit, imo. 

 
The wife and I went to Vegas a few weeks ago, she took the over on Husker wins. I went a little crazy and put money on a Big Ten Championship and Martinez winning the Heisman.

Unrelated to the Huskers I also put money on the Bears winning the Superbowl.

That's possible. The game is in Ames, so maybe the Clones can pull it off. Iowa has won seven of the last ten, but this Iowa State is supposed to be much improved.

We want Iowa to win. We want them with the best record possible when we beat them. We want this for every team on the schedule.

The analytical side of me agrees.

However, my emotional side would laugh hard if ISU beats them.....and that's possible.

I have a weird feeling we lose to Minnesota this year, but I still think we could win the west and for sure think have a better year than them.

I think having played Ohio State and Northwestern by the time we play the Gophers will benefit us. Goldy doesn't play anyone before us - SDSU, Fresno State, Georgia Southern, Purdue & Illinois. Toughest game in that slate (on paper) is Purdue.

I wouldn't sell Pur-f*****g-due short, especially this year. They're my #2 for the West, behind DoNU.

Not a bad prediction. Here's their schedule, with their cross-divisional games highlighted:

That's a really soft schedule except for having to face both Iowa and Wisconsin away. But I'd rather have that than to trade either Maryland or Indiana for Michigan, for example.
