Its an interesting article. I didn't quite infer if they simply used their national poll to determine division's order of finish or if they actually polled specifically for division winner. I gather it was the former.

 
I don't understand anyone putting Iowa #3 with their schedule in comparisons to Wisconsin's -- and returning talent.

Wisconsin: @ Mich St, @ Mich, Ohio St. and then @ Iowa
