2012 NCAAF Conference Previews


-Big Ten Conference-

Predicted Finish
Leaders Division
1)Wisconsin
     I don't see the Badgers being as good as they were last year but that doesn't mean they wont have a shot at ending up in the Rose Bowl. They return a Heisman finalist running back and should get good play from transfer QB Danny O'Brien. Add in a good defense and a season under 10 wins is a disappointment.
2)Ohio St
     This team isn't bowl eligible but they have enough talent to be a contender in the Big Ten. Should be interesting to see how QB Braxton Miller improves with Urban Meyer now coaching.
3)Illinois
4)Purdue
5)Penn St
6)Indiana

Legends Division
1)Michigan St
     I know they lose QB Kirk Cousins but they still have RB Leveon Bell and I think he will carry this team to the Big Ten Championship Game. The thing that scares me with having them this high is the schedule. The Spartans must play Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska three weekends in row late in the season.
2)Michigan 
     Michigan seems to be the favorite in the division but I have a hard time ever really buying into Denard Robinson. I like what coach Brady Hoke is doing but i'm just not sold Robinson can beat you throwing the ball.
3)Nebraska
4)Iowa
5)Minnesota
6)Northwestern

-Player of the Year-
 RB, Leveon Bell, Michigan St
