Ohio State all the way.
Remember the name Roy Hall. He is like a poor man's Mike Williams. The guy is 6-3 220 and all muscle. I think that with all the attention Santonio Holmes gets from defenses, Hall has a huge year. 1 scrawny little CB wont take him down.

thats an unbiased opinion if I ever saw one Who's going to beat them Ohio State? I don't think so and there is NO MICHIGAN on the schedule. They might lose at Iowa but I think you can win the Big Ten this year with 1 or 2 losses in the conference

Wisky has to come to Ohio State. OSU hasnt lost at home since I think last time Wisky came to town, which was over 2 years ago.

Have a little bit of reasoning behind your great predictions in the future... Give me one reason to think Ohio State can actually win the BIG 11 (BIG 10 is a little idiotic since there are 11 teams). Michigan has the most depth of any team in the BIG 10, and Purdue and Wisconsin could contend. Face it OSU is headed south in the rankings.

Michigan has the most depth of any team in the BIG 10, and Purdue and Wisconsin could contend. Face it OSU is headed south in the rankings. I would argue with you on the depth issue for the defense. No one in the nation has depth at LB like OSU. Hawk, Carpenter, Schlegal, D'Andrea, and Kerr are fairly big names. Thomas Mathews is a Sr a lot like Cie Grant was in that he played DB and got moved to OLB, dunno how physical he will be tho. Freeman will see a lot of time at OLB as well. They have 3 CBs that could start for a lot of teams and 4 safeties who saw extensive playing time last year. OSU might've lost 3 DL last year, but they rotated between 8 and 10 last year so there is plenty back. Their defense will be a rock again this year. Expect a little more blitzing from the new defensive coordinator. Offense has potential, but not too much experience. Look for them to utilize the TE to open things up. Hamby and Fr Rory Nicol have looked good in practice. Nicol will be an all-american when he is done. If the QBs can make plays and force the defense out of 8 in the box, look out. If not, cover your eyes. Regardless, defense wins championships and this is by far OSU's fastest, most athletic defense in a long time. Experience will be the only thing that holds them back, but I have high hopes for them.

Michigan is going to take the Big 10, and I think Ohio State will come in second, getting another At Large Bid to a BCS Bowl. 3rd is up for grabs.
Purude is a favorite to come in second or win it, but I think they lose to Michigan and Ohio State like last year, and slip up against Notre Dame in South Bend. I think they take 3rd.
Wisconsin is my pick for 4th. They'll lose the tiebraker to Purdue for 3rd place, and lose to Ohio State. Penn State will lose at least 3 conference games this year, either to Minnesota, Ohio State, Purdue, or Wisconsin. I think they lose to the latter 3.
Minnesota I think will lose to Michigan, Wisconsin, Penn State, and Michigan State. Iowa will take 7th, Michigan State will take 8th, Illinois 9th, Indiana 10th, and Northwestern 11th.
