Lindy's predictions

[CWCWCW]

I used to look forward to the college football preview magazines. They'd come out in early June and you could learn a lot about other teams. The internet has lessened the gloss, but I still buy a few of them.
Lindy's is one of the best, even though they neglect the Big 10. I googled their site and see they haven't come out with 2010 predictions. So here goes my predictions of their predictions!

1) OSU...that's an easy one.
2) WI.....seems to be the pick this year. I hope Bucky disappoints
3) IA...what an ugly team last year, except for all the W's
4) PSU..national media will have a hard time putting JoePa lower than this.
5) Michigan..again, they've got to sell some magazines.
6) Northwestern..the darling surprise pick
7) Michigan State...Michigan's Rodney Dangerfield
8) Purdue..the OSU win helped their cause
9) Minnesota...Hey, we're etched in that spot since Jim Wacker days
10)Illinois...sorry Zooker
11)Indiana..gosh, they just couldn't finish a game last year.

I'll bury this thread if I'm not close.

Bucky has disappointed in most years where they have had high expectations. In 2008 a lot of people picking them to win the conference and they finished the year 7-6.

3) IA...what an ugly team last year, except for all the W's
4) PSU..national media will have a hard time putting JoePa lower than this.
The Joe-Pa effect is powerful.
5) Michigan..again, they've got to sell some magazines.
this is funny.
6) Northwestern..the darling surprise pick
spot on. although losing 2 all Big Ten safeties off a fairly unathletic D does not bode well.
7) Michigan State...Michigan's Rodney Dangerfield
8) Purdue..the OSU win helped their cause
9) Minnesota...Hey, we're etched in that spot since Jim Wacker days
10)Illinois...sorry Zooker

Great stuff.
