Meanwhile, Wisconsin will do what they do best and that is continue to win 9-10 games each year.
Chryst is not your "sexy" coach, but he knows Wisconsin football and does nothing but win there.
Ferentz is another coach who has been around a long time and knows how to win. Although he has struggled to win on the road historically, he still does a good job with that program each year. Every time that Iowa has a down year and the fans want to run him out of town, he bounces back with a very good season. Not happening this year though with Iowa coming to TCF Bank Stadium!
Certainly if teams like Minnesota and Nebraska can start winning more consistently in the Big Ten, the power will eventually shift in the West Division. Purdue and Northwestern are also programs that could be on the rise.
