3 years 39 weeks ago	Michigan State	Oh my, #10? Dantonio's doing well and all, but we'll be doing well to land just outside the Top 25. I'd like to see what this "ES" was thinking, because... A #10 finish pretty much requires a minimum of ten wins in the regular season -- and then a bowl win. So realistically speaking, that means all of the following: 1. Getting at least 3 wins out of playing @Cal, @Penn St, @Michigan and at home for Ohio State and Wisconsin. 2. Beating EVERYBODY else. 3. Winning against a quite good bowl opponent in Jan. Umm.... Occam's Razor ain't that sharp. (There you go. Hopefully I have added some karma back to the universe for the benefit of Spartans everywhere.)
3 years 42 weeks ago	Purdue to Basement	I agree with the general trend here (Painter over-rated, etc...), but I think your conclusion is too generous.   My biggest disagreement is that CMU is not a "probable win." The Chips are defending MAC champs, sending back 16 starters, a veteran starter at QB (as good as Painter?) and obviously some experience preparing for Purdue. I'd call this at least a toss-up (and maybe add a "leaning to CMU" if such weaselly qualifications are allowed.)   And if NW is a toss-up, and I agree that it is, then Iowa should be as well.   Likewise, Indiana should be a toss-up. They return more starters and a veteran QB from a winning team of last year. And, oh yeah, one of their '07 wins was against ... Purdue.   The only "probable" wins that I see for Purdue are Minnesota and the layup with Northern Colorado. I think Purdue and Minny fight for the Big Ten basement this year.
