Phil Steele releases preseason poll, ranking all college football teams, 1 to 136



I guessed we'd be 44...
I can't believe how folks still place Wisconsin ahead of us. Iowa is not significantly better at this point, and I think we are gonna start to be 50/50 against them.
 





1. PSU
5. tOSU
12. Michigan
13. Oregon
16. Indiana
17. Illinois
21. USC
31. iowa
32. wisconsin
35. Nebraska
39. Washington
44. Rutgers
45. Minnesota
52. UCLA
54. MSU
63 Northwestern
72. Maryland
106. Purdue
6 teams between 31 and 45 seems about right. The team that wins the close games will rack up wins and finish top 20.

I think he has Michigan, indiana, UCLA, Wisconsin, Michigan State, and northwestern overrated.

Michigan should be where Wisconsin is. Wisconsin should be one spot ahead of northwestern.


I think he has all the teams 31-45 underrated by about 5 spots. Should be 26-40


Purdue probably the most overrated team in the conference 😂
 

After OSU, PSU, Oregon, likely Michigan and Iowa, teams will ebb and flow. Usually four of the mentioned will be ranked in the top 15 or so nationally and 4 or 5 in the top 25. We all want to be ranked higher but, like the rest of the BIG, getting and staying in the top five is an ongoing uphill battle. Talk to Badger fans about that.
