Added a bunch of back spring previews today. Going to try to get the rest of the schedule posts created in the next few days!

 
Big loss for Purdue: 

Purdue's top returning receiver from last season won't be a member of this year's team. Milton Wright, who caught 57 passes for 732 yards and seven touchdowns, has been ruled academically ineligible and is no longer with the program.

 
Adam McClintock gives his predictions for the upcoming season.


A sloppy ranking of the West gives us this:





Team


Bowl


10Ws




Iowa


98.5


62.3




Wisconsin


98.1


50.3




Purdue


75.8


14.7




Nebraska


74.3


10.3




Minnesota


72.1


9.5




Illinois


42.7


3.7




NW


12.1


0.1









This puts Nebraska in a dogfight for the middle of the West, little chance to win the division behind Iowa and Wisconsin, but with a high likelihood to win enough games to go to a bowl.
