Ohio State. Winning with defense and special teams and just enough offense.

 

[USC Trojans]

Was going to vote Penn St with their dynamic duo at QB and RB...but tOSU has waaaay too much talent to not win

 

[John Price]

Michigan

 

[bluesfan94]

OSU/Michigan/Penn St should all be good, but I have OSU winning in the end.

 

[HisIceness]

Buckeyes.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Michigan

Michigan

Right after they lost all but 5 of their starters from a year ago?

I'm willing to make an avatar bet right now with you if you're up for it.

I mean. That's not that important. Guys like rashan Gary will break out with others. Speight being the qb with some guys that can't be replaced right away (peppers or Lewis) will be the reason Michigan wins 8-9

Jim Harbaugh took a bunch of trash from Brady Hoke and turned that into a winning team.

This is nothing.

 

[bluesfan94]

There's a difference between a winning team and winning this Big 10

 

[Central PA Hawk Fan]

Winner of the PSU-OSU game will be the champ IMO. Since its in Columbus, I'll pick OSU.

They had the 21st, 7th, & 5th ranked recruiting classes under Hoke according to Rivals. How exactly is that "trash"?

Harbaugh's a good coach but let's not get too crazy. He had some talent to play with on those rosters. The biggest setback from them was that they didn't produce a good QB especially with Shane Morris being a highly touted guy coming out of HS who flopped.

And he has talent to play with on the rosters in 2017 too. I'm not buying this talk about Michigan's demise. Harbaugh has yet to have a bad year at Michigan. Again, his rebuilding year was supposed to be his first year.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Harbaugh taking over Michigan was similar to taking over S.F. A team with talent but lacked direction. Lol @ Michigan's demise. More melodramatic crap. They'll be a good enough team.

They do but it's a lot younger & unproven than last year's team thus why not many are picking them to win the Big Ten this year.

It's not a knock on Harbaugh it's just really hard to win big with young inexperienced rosters in college football. Only Ohio State & Alabama with Meyer & Saban have proven to be able to do that.

 

[Halladay]

Fun fact, Michigan has only beaten tOSU 3 times since the start of this new Millennium. tOSU will win the B1G.

 

[Central PA Hawk Fan]

I don't think anyone is predicting Michigan's demise. They'll be a good team, I just think they lose too much experience to compete with just as talented with more experienced squads in OSU and PSU. Next season is gonna be a great run for UM. I also think a lot of people are surprised how UM stalled down the stretch with a really experienced squad, you have to admit they were handed the keys to the B1G east late last season and proceeded to drop them in a puddle of mud. This is definitely an experience gathering year for them, but crazy things have happened before, I'm not gonna rule them out of the race.

I expect Harbaugh to be fine, but a coach doing well with his predecessor's recruiting class while hitting the skids when they bring in their own recruits -- hardly unheard of.

Same. Absolutely hilarious. Tables will be turned when they come into Happy Valley - they will get destroyed.

Either O$U or the Lions.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Penn State will be the most entertaining team to watch.

Not Ohio State?
