per Athlons:
Every season of college football starts out the same way. We have all of these things that we think are knowns — lead-pipe locks as one popular radio host calls them. Then, by midseason, we're all wrong, sitting around wondering what happened to all that we thought was written in stone.
It shouldn't surprise us, considering that we are dealing with young men in their late teens and early 20s, but it always does.
The Big Ten Conference leads the way in "things we think we know" in 2015. Much of that has to do with Ohio State returning the bulk of its championship roster from a season ago and fielding a team many think could be the best in quite some time.
That sounds like a perfect reason to make some outrageous predictions about the Big Ten in 2015. Here goes:
The Big Ten champion will come from the West Division
The West is the red-headed stepchild of the conference — if not the entire Power 5 — heading into 2015. All they hear is how terrible and soft the division is. That said, let's say the scenario laid out above comes to fruition and Michigan State is representing the East in Indianapolis. It's not too crazy to imagine Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska or even an upstart Iowa having a good day and leaving Indy with the conference trophy.
