2020 Big Ten Predictions


I've had this post created before the cancellation of the season with the original schedule that was to be played.  Most of my thoughts on the conference games are about the same.  The players that have opted out and come back did change a few thoughts, and you can see that list linked below.  

This is a weird season, I'm hoping the conference has enough to get through.  Every week is going to have big games, enjoy it while its here and lets get through to a fun Championship weekend.  


Big Ten Championship
Ohio State over Wisconsin


I'm going chalk.  Ohio State is the best team in the conference.  The only team that can beat them, is them.  I don't expect you'll see a 2017 Iowa or 2018 Purdue happen.  This is the best team to give Alabama or Clemson a fight in the playoff.  

Other Bullets
  • Justin Fields will most likely be the player of the year, but Rondale Moore will be the most exciting.
  • Adrian Martinez is the starting QB for Nebraska, but for how long.  Luke McCaffrey can't be off the field.  He creates too many good things for Nebraska
  • I have Indiana going 4-4 but wouldn't be surprised if they knock off Penn State or Michigan in the East.  
  • Will Jim Harbaugh's seat warm up more if they don't get 2nd in the East? 
  • How will social turmoil at Iowa affect the team?  It seemed like it was over until just recently.
  • Minnesota had a great season last year, but lost 2 trophies.  Can the get the Ax back and break a 5 game losing streak vs Iowa?
  • Most importantly for the conference, can they win another playoff game?
