Andre Ware Leaders and Legends predictions

[SelectionSunday]

Any others? Have any other talking heads/media made early predictions for the first Legends and Leaders champions? I saw Ware on ESPNU's College Football Report a couple days ago, and he projected Wisconsin (Leaders) and Michigan State (Legends) as the two divisional champions, with MSU winning the inaugural Big Ten championship game.

Thought that was kind of a reach. It's unwise to pick against OSU (even with their current problems) & Sparty's offensive line is a huge question mark, not to mention I wouldn't completely trust Kirk Cousins until he learns to stop throwing off his back foot when feeling pressure.

I'd go with tOSU over Nebraska in the title game. I hate to pick Nebraska in its first year -- the Big Ten's not going to be as easy as some of Big Red's fans think -- but the Leaders Division just doesn't look that strong this year.

I like your insight better than Ware's. Nebraska over Ohio in the title game.

MSU?

I find it hard to believe MSU over both Nebraska and Iowa, as much as I dislike them. Maybe he figures a 5-3 division winner with tiebreakers, which happens a lot in 12 team conferences...

That was my thought as well. Looking at some of the Legends Division schedules, I could easily see 5-3 getting a team to the title game. You're right, it could come down to how the tiebreakers fall.
