Losses to Texas and Michigan. Penn State is a toss up. 9-3 floor, 11-1 absolute ceiling. I'm predicting 10-2, fringe playoff team, depending on the outcome of the Penn State game.

I think everyone here can admit Michigan has earned the benefit of the doubt in The Game.

Washington, in Seattle, is no easy task either, even with a decided talent advantage in favor of the team down south.

Big Ten title comes down to Michigan, Oregon, and Penn State. Michigan has by far the easiest path of the three with no Oregon or Penn State and Nebraska being the toughest road test in conference. Team down south travels up US-23 for their ass whoopin' and Little Brother will be lucky to keep everyone in suspense on where Paul Bunyan is going for more than a quarter or two.

Not an unreasonable summation about the Big 10 for 2025.

Penn State returns the most talent and experience, yet have James Franklin who has a knack of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory .

Oregon just oozes talent and Michigan is uniquely built on the line of scrimmage to negate Ohio State"s skill. A favorable schedule could make winning The Game the path to the playoffs for the Wolverines. That and honestly the Buckeye Nation's preoccupation with the "scandal" plays into Michigan's hand.

The Buckeye's are strong at wide receiver and in the defensive back seven, but rebuilding their defensive line and breaking in new coordinators and a new QB represent challenges. 9-3 would not be totally shocking especially given the emotion the program expended in the NC drive. Still TOSU is getting a lot of love in the preseason polls and analytics .

Other teams like Illinois and Indiana have talent and experience and will not be an easy out for anybody . Washington could rebound and USC has the talent to contend despite their coaching.

The Big 10 is no longer the Big 2 and everybody else. Should be a fun season.

I agree with everything you just said....except for USC. USC is the biggest bunch of paper tigers I've ever seen. For all the flack we give James Franklin for losing to Michigan and Ohio State every year, Lincoln Riley seems to get creamed every time he coaches against a team with a good head coach. I mean the guy had Caleb Williams at QB and lost to Tulane. Tulane.....

TULANE, BY GOD, TULANE!!!

I grew up watching Carson Palmer, Troy Polamalu, Matt Leinart, LenDale White, Reggie Bush, Dwayne Jarrett, Rey Maualuga, Brian Cushing, Clay Matthews, and countless others.
