No way in hell Indiana finishes ahead of the Gophs, and I don't think Illinois will either. Michigan State is too high but everything else seems close based on who's returning. Regardless... these projections never take into account the incoming players who see the field for the first time.

That, my friends, is called the trifecta! Seriously though, I can see why someone not connected to the program would pick that way. We lost our biggest (maybe only?) playmaker on offense, as well as 4 or 5 really solid starters on D (a couple of whom might make NFL teams). That said, I'm confident we'll win at least 3 BT games and once again finish somewhere from 6th-8th. Wins over any of Illinois, NW, Purdue, MSU, and one of Iowa/Wisc wouldn't surprise me in the least.
