WSoxShuf Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 USC did not impress me at all last night. I am hoping Boomer Sooner runs the tables for the Big 12. also I am so excited to see Kansas in Evanston this year, well until I show up and we lose by 100 pts.

Spiff Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I don't know why anyone would predict Illinois higher than Northwestern, considering Illinois didn't beat a I-A team last year, and NU went to a bowl game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxman352000 Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I want to see Illinois and NU both do well, but NU is definatley going to be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. They are just Illinois fans, nothing wrong with that. People just need to be reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Big Ten 1. Illinois 1. Ohio Sate 2. Michigan 3. Iowa 4. Purdue 5. Wisconsin 6. Minnesota 7. Michigan State 8. Northwestern 9. Pennslyvania State 10. Illinois 11. Indiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddy Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 i have a feeling that Iowa's not gonna do as well as people think... just a hunch but i have a feeling QB is gonna be a pretty weak link on the team this year, we're not gonna have a Banks or Chandler step up this year... Anyone whos predicting a 2nd place finish for them is smokin something. btw, danman, i'm just curious but what made you an NU fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 btw, danman, i'm just curious but what made you an NU fan? My dad went there. I started following them in the 95 Rose Bowl year. I went to a few games with my dad. Notre Dame hasn't scheduled the 'Cats since they stunned 'em in the opener, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Prediction: Michigan beats two teams from Ohio this year! First game of the year, and last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 1. Michigan 2. Iowa 3. Ohio St. 4. Minnesota 5. Wisconsin 6. Purdue 7. Michigan St. 8. Penn St. 9. Northwestern 10. Illinois 11. Indiana That's my Big Ten picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 It's a week into the season, but I hate preseason predictions in college sports because there are so many unknowns. I saw some Big Ten teams play and was impressed or not. 1. Michigan (ugh...) 2. Ohio St. 3. Iowa 4. Purdue 5. Wisconsin 6. Minnesota 7. Northwestern 8. Penn St. 9. Mich. St. 10. Indiana 11. Illinois A big drop off after the first 2 and top 7. This is a weak year for the Big Ten. Also, the last 3 are interchangable. Illinois hasn't been a I-A team in a long time and Indiana always sucks, but Michigan State lost to Rutgers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiff Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 USC is way too hyped up. They won't make it to the title game. Nice job, jackass! Although I was right about Northwestern in a way, I figured they had to be better than people were giving them credit for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Damn, my picks were pretty good, I was close outside of the LSU pick, and those Big Ten picks were monsters. Virginia might still bail me out if the beat Va Tech, and WV is tied for first. I'm winning Soxtalk College Football Pick'em, whatever that's worth. I'm basically in first because everyone else is too lazy to make their picks every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
