My way too early 2015 Big Ten Football Predictions

Big Ten Champions: Michigan State 13-0 and Connor Cook wins the Heisman

BIG TEN EAST
Michigan State 13-0 (9-0) Playoffs
Ohio State 10-2 (6-2) Rose Bowl
Penn State 8-4 (4-4) Music City Bowl
Michigan 7-5 (5-3) Pinstripe Bowl
Maryland 6-6 (3-5) Heart of Dallas Bowl
Indiana 5-7 (2-6)
Rutgers 5-7 (1-7)

BIG TEN WEST
Nebraska 9-4 (6-3) Outback Bowl
Wisconsin 9-3 (6-2) Holiday Bowl
Iowa 9-3 (5-3) Citrus Bowl
Northwestern 7-5 (5-3) Foster Farms Bowl
Minnesota 6-6 (4-4) Quick Lane Bowl
Purdue 3-9 (1-7)
Illinois 3-9 (0-8)

I don't follow much in the offseason, explain to me how we are going to be better than Ohio State.

Not trying to troll/flame either, but they looked unbeatable towards the end of last year and almost like they are on the brink of being a CFB dynasty.

July Heisman is better than September Heisman....

I agree that MSU goes 13-0. There is going to be some turmoil at Ohio State this season due to too many egos at QB.

The Big Ten West is tough to predict. I think we might see a surprise win it like Northwestern.

Only got to be better one Saturday in November. It's doable.

Natty Champs!

Who else do you have them losing to?

Michigan. They come into that game with a Spartan loss hangover and Harbaugh whips up his team for the upset. The Blue Wall will be full of the Bo beat Woody in 1969 comparisons.

I've got Michigan losing to Utah, BYU, Maryland, Michigan State, and Penn State.

I could see that happening.

Me thinks you missed Illinois and their 8 losses. 57-57

GO GREEN!

Omg I did. Good work. I just assumed you wouldn't pay attention to that.

I'm going to go back to my hole and live in shame now.

I thought you were a State Discount kinda guy.

57-57, now that's parity.  No way can you play a whole season and then have it come out .500, we have parity in our conference.  I bet they don't have that in the SEC

If Heat still posted here, he could give you the Cone of Shame Award.

You're being to generous with Maryland...they're going to have a rough year. I also think we lose in Columbus and Wisconsin rolls through the West with one of the softest B1G schedules I've ever seen.

Here's my predictions:

BIG TEN EAST
Ohio State 13-0 (9-0) Playoffs
Michigan State 10-2 (7-1) Rose Bowl (I'd be totally happy going to the Rose again)
Penn State 10-2 (6-2) Citrus Bowl
Michigan 7-5 (5-3) Pinstripe Bowl
Indiana 6-6 (2-6) Heart of Dallas Bowl
Maryland 4-8 (1-7)
Rutgers 5-7 (1-7)

BIG TEN WEST
Wisconsin 11-2 (8-1) Peach Bowl (Delany will call some favor to keep them from falling after losing the CCG)
Nebraska 8-4 (5-3) Holiday Bowl
Iowa 7-5 (4-4) Foster Farms Bowl
Minnesota 6-6 (4-4) Quick Lane Bowl
Northwestern 5-7 (3-5)
Purdue 3-9 (1-7)
Illinois 3-9 (0-8)

We don't need heat. I feel much shame.

I would not be unhappy with that result.
