ESPN Previews B1G Ten 2011

I can't stand Herbie, but he just said what is in the back of everyone's mind, if Taylor and the O stumbles once again, we could be in for a long year. On the flip side, if this O clicks then :koolaid2:

 
I do not agree with the first guy's top 5... Northwestern is in no way 4th. Top 5 in no particular order are Nebraska, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State. I wouldn't be surprised if Michigan or Iowa sneaks in near the bottom and replaces one of the others but these are by far the top teams. Bottom half will be Minnesota, Purdue, Illinois, Northwestern, Indiana. I do think Indiana gets a lot better soon though with Eckler running the defense and bringing Nebraska schemes to the team. My vote for worst team in the big 10 this year... Minnesota. And with that said, I STILL think Minnesota could beat Kansas, Iowa State, and Colorado in the Big 12.

Iowa isn't the sexy pick, of course, but they win without flash because in their wins, they play relatively mistake-free. I also think Vanderberg, or whatever his name is, is going to be better than Stanzi. Very good O-line, very good RB (but without much depth there), potentially good QB. And, they also play defense. I wouldn't write them off just yet.

 
I think I know what imgonnasuhyou's next topic should be. Who's a bigger douche: Kirk Herbstreit, Mark May or Ed Cunningham?
