I thought the Michigan game was a little low until i clicked the link. Lots of traditional big 10 big games.

The Game has to be #1. That's going to be the big game in the B1G for the foreseeable future, and it's going to take a LOT of really good rivalry games from two other teams to supplant it. Like, decades and decades of them. So I have no problem with that.

I have a hard time believing OSU Wisconsin will be much of a game this year.

A lot of this list is assuming Wisconsin and Michigan St. can replace their QBs and put together a solid season. I don't see both of them doing that.

Exactly I don't think wisconsin's qb transfer will do to well this I the big ten not the acc. And I doubt Michigan states will do much either. I'm just excited for football already.

This comment was made dozens of times when Nebraska was talked about as a destination for Russell Wilson. He faired OK coming from NC State to the B1G

I don't think lightning will strike twice for them though - and I believe they'll feel the impact of their coaching exodus.

Lol, he used the word "uber" in that article

...and he called Nebraska-Iowa "The Battle of I-80"

As long as O'Brien is a pocket passer, I'm liking our chances against Wiscy. Sparty had a very good QB, at least one very good WR and a decent O Line, but the immobility of Cousins killed their chances. Even with a solid defense.

I think the coaching exodus, and the fact that O'Brien is Zac Taylor mobile, bodes well for us.

I'm pretty sure they're going to be a solid team but I doubt much if it will all come together like Wiscy fans are saying it will.

If it does, Bielema is B1G Coach of the Year, easy. Maybe even national COY.

I'm excited for two games next year and OSU vs Nebraska is one of them.

I'm really hoping I get alumni tix for that game. I would imagine it's going to be a night game

You guys are acting like Wisconsin fans are envisioning a National Championship with Danny or something.....I don't think anyone is saying that. I'd say that we stand a pretty good chance of making it to Indianapolis, we should be the favorites from our division.

Well yeah, you're pretty much guaranteed it now that tOSU can't play in it this year.

I'm really looking forward to that game as well. I know you have "the team up north" thing going on but a new rivalry with Nebraska could evolve and be more respected like Nebraska vs Oklahoma....
