BTN 2010 preseason rankings

[NorCal Buckeye]

BTN football analysts are almost in complete agreement...

1. The Ohio State University
2. Iowa
3. Wisconsin
4. Michigan State
5. Penn State.

I say the bottom six finish more less like this:

6. Northwestern
7. Purdue
8. Minnesota
9. UM*
10. Indiana
11. Illinois.
* if they're lucky!

What say you?:)

Iowa first(duh), I could see Penn State dropping to 6th, Michigan State is always in the top 4 preseason and almost always fall short.

I like how you split up the top 5 from the bottom, with the top being analysts picks and the bottom being your's

Why do they keep putting these stupid lists out so early? And I love Norcal how you try to bait us by putting a sly little notation with UM.

Since you seem to be inviting us to make our own lists here is my own stupid list.

1. tUOS
2. Iowa
3. Wiscy
4. PSU
5. UM
6. MSU
7. Purdue
8. NW
9. IU
10. Minnesota
11. Illinois

Maybe I'm stepping on your toes, but would you consider ranking Northwestern higher than sixth? They seem to be on the upswing, replacing Michigan as a force to be reckoned with.:)

Northwestern loses Kafta, I think they drop down below 6th this year. But as long as Fitz is there, they will always be competitive.

Speaking of Fitz, would Michigan consider hiring him if RR doesn't work out. I'm serious about this. They would probably search for a Michigan man though.

Regardless of whether they went after him or not, I dont see Pat Fitzgerald going anywhere in the B10 but where he is at right now. The guy is so incredibly passionate about Northwestern that I just dont see it ever happening.

As for the OP here is my list

1.Ohio State
2.Michigan
3.Iowa
4.Penn State
5.Northwestern
6.Wisconsin
7.Michigan State
8.Minnesota
9.Illinois
10.Indiana
11.Purdue

Love the blatant insecurity displayed that inspires you to type the entire proper name. Its okay, we know you have a good team, you can quit scurrying around with your chest out trying to convince everyone.

Too bad for UM Rodriguez didn't feel the same way about WVU. He could still be there as the BMOC, and you guys could have two additional winning seasons behind you. Maybe even a win against OSU. Slim chance, but still, a chance.

Seriously, with the roster we had the last 2 years how do you see any winning seasons? Even if we could have kept Boren and Mallet that still would not have been enough, 2 guys could not have stopped the sieve of inexperience that hit us in such a short span.
