Athlon Sports Big Ten Football 2019 Predictions

The Big Ten tied the SEC for the most teams (seven) in Athlon’s projected top 25 teams, and 10 programs are projected to reach bowl eligibility in Athlon’s Big Ten predictions for 2019. While the teams – Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Nebraska, Iowa and Wisconsin – atop the Big Ten predictions are familiar, the upcoming season could bring change to which programs represent the divisions for the conference title game in Indianapolis this December.

.....

The West Division brought some of the toughest decisions of Athlon’s 2019 Big Ten predictions. On paper, Iowa is best team in the division. The Hawkeyes are strong on the line of scrimmage, and quarterback Nate Stanley will challenge for All-Big Ten honors. However, coach Kirk Ferentz’s team plays at Michigan, Northwestern, Wisconsin and Nebraska and has a home date versus Penn State in crossover play. Similar to Iowa, Wisconsin has a tough slate in its quest to get back to the conference title game. The Badgers catch Michigan, Ohio State and Michigan State from the East and have road trips to Nebraska and Minnesota. Running back Jonathan Taylor is a Heisman candidate, but Wisconsin has to rebuild its offensive line and break in a new full-time quarterback.

I listen to their podcast, and they sure do love them some Scott Frost. They seem to think (which I think will be the consensus) that the West division will be close all season, and come down to the last weekend.
