http://www.bigten.org/sports/m-footbl/archive/041011aac.htmlI actually like Northwestern with Persa among 16 returning starters to contend with Nebraska (minus Helu Jr.) on the"Legends" side after seeing Michigan State get steamrolled by Alabama.
On the "Leaders" side, it seems ridiculous to go any way other than Ohio State, but if they crumble under the weight, Illinois (oh no he didn't) has as good a shot as Wisconsin (with heavy loses) to vie for the top spot.
Then of course the two division winners square off at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Nebraska v. Ohio State seems a foregone conclusion. But I don't care for Nebraska's schedule and will substitute Northwestern with a much easier route to the inaugural event.
