" If you’re wondering why the totals don’t add up to whole numbers – that’s because it factors in the odds of each team reaching and winning/losing the Big Ten title game." (collegespun)

 
Now lets take a look at our schedule:
 
9/2 vs Florida
9/9 vs Cincinnati
9/16 vs Air Force
9/23 @ Purdue
10/7 vs MSU
10/14 @ Indiana
10/21 @ PSU
10/28 vs Rutgers
11/4 vs Minnesota
11/11 @ Maryland
11/18 @ Wisconsin
11/25 vs OSU

Not difficult to find 3-4 losses if you're a pessimist, but this team is going to surprise some people outside of our community.
