Around the Big Ten

Ferentz coached baseball too?

[iam416]

Yes. But that was football. His baseball scores are usually 1-0 after 26 innings.

[iam416]

The B10 currently has 4 of the 7 rated recruiting classes (USC"s class will only play B10 ball). UAT and Texas will jump up -- UAT surely into the top 3. Texas probably top 8. But, I wouldn't be surprised if the B10 ends up with 4 of the top 10 or 11. Which is fairly big departure from past years.

That's bad news for coaching ligthweights like CRD and, well, James Franklin -- who need to out-talent teams...BY A LOT...to win. But, it's good for the conference.

Also of note, UNL is putting together a decent class....apparently they're getting kids to come shitbird, america to buy into a program that has been utter trash for a generation. Kudos to Coach Rhule.

STFU

Rhule's rejuvenated Nebraska will be Michigan's first real test. I hope HARBAUGH is up for the task, could be Rhules first big (upset) win..

[lineygoblue]

Anyone predicting a Michigan undefeated, or single loss season needs to pump the brakes a bit. There are several trap situations in the schedule.

[Mike]

Hell no there’s not. The only losable game on the schedule prior to OSU is at PSU. That’s it. It’s a two game season. Maybe UNL could be a little dicey since it’ll be the first marquee game if the Rhule era and that place will be jumping but I think we’ll be a better team than last year’s squad that won their first 13 games.

[WingsFan]

And a lot of people are talking - NC or bust - with this kind of anticipation there will be 2 losses somewhere, Nebraska's Rhule could get his first signature win.

[Mike]

You guys need to chill. We'll finish right around where we did the last two years. Good enough to win every game on the schedule until we hit the playoff.

10-2 is not bad

[iam416]

They ain't winning the CFP, but they also ain't losing 2 in the regular season.

[THE_WIZARD_]

UNL ain't beating HARBAUGH!!!!!!! JFC this is AA like sandbaggery going on...

[iam416]

M is the prohibitive favorite to win the B10. Ohio State will be solid again. Penn State will be annoyingly good. Maybe someone from the West will have a pulse. But, 2023 is HARBAUGH!!!!'s year. And 2024 might be, too, if JJ and Edwards stay.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Those that question the greatness of HARBAUGH!!!!!!! shall perish.

10-2 is not bad

10-2 this season would be an unmitigated disaster unseen since 2007.
