As an Oregon fan what I've learned about Indiana is it's NOT the Jimmies and the Joes it really IS the X's and O's. That staff can flat out teach ball, game plan and manage a game.
Saw that as a Penn State fan last year too. All of that talent, but it couldn't mesh and that was the end of it. It's why I'm cautiously optimistic about Campbell's first season.
lanning should be less of a jackass. Calling a timeout at Michigan, taunting fans at Iowa, trash talking USC. He’s a great coach, just be a great coach and drop the doucheyness.
So in one moment FANDUEL has OSU as the favorite to win the B1G while simultaneously only have them win 9.5 games with just a potential non conference loss to Texas.
You can’t help yourself. Always looking for a reason to discount the Hoosiers. Don’t you get it? It’s the coaching staff-just like in the glory days of IU basketball. But, who can lay blame-you are not really old enough to remember that.
Sustained success is a different beast. This is the guy’s 3rd season. He keeps it up for another 5 seasons, then you can start running this shtick without looking like a homer. Until then, shut up.
@SportsComedyHipHop 2 years is hardly enough to draw any conclusions from. Not to mention, how much longer is Indiana gonna have Cig in the big picture? Another decade would be nice, but I can’t see much further on than that. The guy’s 65 now.
@Thelegendaryromero65 in June and 2 year sample of nearly 30 games is def a good size sample. I do agree I wish he was 45/55 this upcoming season instead of 65, but beggars can’t be choosers!
They had a huge amount of success with Cig's seasoned veterans that he ported over from JMU. Virtually all those guys are gone. We'll see what he can do with a heavy portal class but yeah, there's definitely questions to be answered. I agree with the 9.
I’m an Ohio State fan and I agree completely. You guys are the defending champions, and it wasn’t a fluke. Right now the hardest game on our schedule is at Bloomington on Oct 17th.
They are 111th in returning snap production, low level of returning starters. Great portal but not a large one. 17 players in. Depth will be a concern. Hoover is not at all mobile. Not a scrambler even. Different than what Cig had in Roarke and Mendoza. Their mobility was integral to the O lines success. Because IUs O line was opportunistic. They never dominated the big boys, they played disciplined and schemed. But plays broke down all the time and they needed Roarke, Mendoza to escape pressure and even run for gains. Schedule is also harder. A 9 is still great.
USC vs Oregon was one of the games I actually was worried about as an Oregon fan for 2025. We had freshie corners up against two pretty nasty receivers and a QB who can run. If ya'll had a remotely confident defense that game would have been a nail biter
If Iowa surprises Michigan, loses to ohio state, and wins out, do they make the playoffs? Assuming OSU and oregon undefeated and indiana and PSU with 1 loss? Could big 10 get 5 spots?
Would be fun but as long as Iowa beats Iowa State, Nebraska, Minnesota I’m a happy man. Throw in a good ole fashioned Saturday night Kinnick Stadium upset as the cherry on top.
PSU and Indiana schedules are very manageable. Not in the B10 but ND has the weakest schedule and we'll be hearing about NC and Heisman from ND by Halloween. B10 will come down to OSU, Oregon, and USC. Michigan is gonna get hit by the NCAA any day now and will be bowl ineligible. The UM Athletic Department does indeed lack institutional control and no matter how dysfunctional the NCAA is...they won't be able to ignore it in the coming weeks...
Picking north western to beat Penn state, Love Penn state fans but north western defense last year finished strong against Michigan then NW brings in chip Kelly. I look for NW to do good things this year. BTW I'm from Oregon go Ducks
As a PSU fan I think we win a close game, but it's got trap potential. NW is gonna have a bit more talent than normal, and it'll be the Friday night game to open their new stadium. Not gonna be a cakewalk.
Yeah, I just feel like we are going to have a bad loss early in the season, and this one is a good candidate. I think we go 10-2. Lose to one bad one. Go 2-1 against UM, Wash, USC. I have no idea why we are so far behind USC and UM in odds though. I don't think we win the B1G, but that is kind of insulting.
Very rough schedule stopped USC last year and this year's schedule is just as tough. But this team is ready for war and has the potential to end up on top!
@brownsloyalist5417u mean the loss when USC played without half of their team, including their RB1, RB2, TE1, TE2, WR1, WR2, LT, RG, C, FS SS, MLB, CB1, DE, and DT? Obviously USC didn’t want to lose that game, but to group that in with the others is ridiculous. TCU had one opt out. Every other starter played in that game.
You act like Penn State will win over UW at Washington, like it’s going to be a cake walk. They will lose 4 or more next year even with the easy schedule.
As a USC fan, I haven’t been the cautiously optimistic in a while. I’m hoping Gary Patterson’s staff can light a fire under the defenses ass compared to Lynn.
Count on it! Riley wanted Patterson two years earlier, but GP had to wait out his 5 years for HOF vote, AND he needed and wanted to recharge his batteries! Now that he has done that, USC gets his best and may I remind you???, GP's best is HOF Coaching! Bottomline, IF GP can compliment on Defense what Riley delivers always on Offense, we won't have to be "cautiously optimistic' this year! We make the CFB Playoffs and then??? Can Nattyville be very far beyond? Two years from now, USC could be enjoying a full-blown Pete Crroll renaissance 2.0, courtesy of HC Lincoln Riley, DC Gary Patterson, GM Chad Bowden and a tip of the cap to AD Jen Cohen!!! Fight On! Then, it must be said, the NCAA will not again be able to bring about a 'Kangaroo Court Imbroglio' as they did vs HC PC's Trojans back then to deprive USC from its rightful run (18 years they swiped!!!) of Blue Blood Football! Those days are over, Thank You Ted Cruz and US Supreme Court!
USC is over-rated. Lincoln Riley has been doing less with more since he got to USC. Is he suddenly going to "patch" the USC boat? Lincoln Riley is all "Rep" and no substance until further notice. Lincoln is way too comfortable with his SoCal lifestyle. He's lost the eye of the Tiger.
Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, Wrong and Wrong on all 5 counts! How can one man be so Wrong? We might call it RDS (Riley Derangement Syndrome) which is a Disease common in America these days when some people hate one person more than they love their country, or their football! The result of such is total Emotional Blather and Zero Common Sense! Sorry Russel but with that much hate in your system I recommend you not put any money down against the Trojans this year. Why? You will lose! Fight On!
They won’t win it so doesn’t matter but what on EARTH has Nebraska UCLA and Wisconsin done to be thought of more highly than Minnesota as a program. Nebraska hasn’t beat them since Y2K
Are you ever gonna be right about any prediction that you make cause as long as I have been watching you you never are right. Go ahead sleep on indiana again they only won the title and reloaded. It's comical the things you say
😂 I’ll put money on that, all day everyday. Ohio State barely missed out on 4 team playoff, no chance Ohio State misses the expanded playoffs..especially this year. They aren’t Texass
I think Michigan is overhyped they should not be above Penn State at least due to their schedule and new coach, maybe close to USC but they are also a bit overhyped as well
We need to see a lot of progress from Underwood to take them seriously. We kinda need to understand he was a freshman last year, but let's see some improvement before I take TTUN seriously.
@moopert86 He also didn't even have a QB coach last year, his HC was too busy smashing to bother getting him the help a true freshman needs. I expect a significant turnaround for him this year.
There’s too many unknowns with them right now. New coach, QB needs to step up, lots of new pieces coming and going. To make the B1G CG, you’ve usually got to go undefeated or 1 loss only in B1G play. I can’t confidently believe Michigan is doing that this year with that difficult schedule.
I appreciate the level of hope you carry for USC. But I just dont see them beating Oregon, Ohio AND Indiana. It would be a generational run if they pulled that off in a single season
Indiana did not scrape by. They finished the season 16-0… sure, one close game against Penn State but weird stuff happens in CFB. You can’t say they “scraped by” when they beat Oregon, Ohio State, Alabama, and Miami.
Indiana is a cupcake schedule! Michigan & Ohio St. are the only teams who could beat them! Think they'd go 1-1 just cause it's back-to-back & the physical toll it would take on them.
As an Oregon fan what I've learned about Indiana is it's NOT the Jimmies and the Joes it really IS the X's and O's. That staff can flat out teach ball, game plan and manage a game.
I remember early 2025, before season kicked off. I said several times "Indiana will be an easy win". I take full blame for how that played out
It's both actually. Take the Ohio State game for example. If Ohio State has a competent kicker, Indiana isn't winning anything.
Saw that as a Penn State fan last year too. All of that talent, but it couldn't mesh and that was the end of it. It's why I'm cautiously optimistic about Campbell's first season.
lanning should be less of a jackass. Calling a timeout at Michigan, taunting fans at Iowa, trash talking USC. He’s a great coach, just be a great coach and drop the doucheyness.
@Andrew-my3scit's more that they crumbled under the expectations. They had Ohio State type pressure and couldn't handle it.
2:10 "Wipe the slate clean, whatever happened in 2025 is a distant memory (it's not)" LMAO needed a good laugh on a Monday morning, thanks Josh 🤣
@2:10 - "wipe the slate clean..." and start a whole new season of F'ing my predictions up!
Could go for a really random college 🏈 game right now or a nfl football game?
I want to say it now so everyone remembers that I said it in March. Minnesota is the Surprise team in the Big Ten this year. 9 to 10 wins.
So in one moment FANDUEL has OSU as the favorite to win the B1G while simultaneously only have them win 9.5 games with just a potential non conference loss to Texas.
You can’t help yourself. Always looking for a reason to discount the Hoosiers. Don’t you get it? It’s the coaching staff-just like in the glory days of IU basketball. But, who can lay blame-you are not really old enough to remember that.
Sustained success is a different beast. This is the guy’s 3rd season. He keeps it up for another 5 seasons, then you can start running this shtick without looking like a homer. Until then, shut up.
@T@Thelegendaryromeroit’s gotta be 7 years now?!? Best team period by any measure/metric over TWO YEARS isn’t a good sample for ya huh?!?🥴
@SportsComedyHipHop 2 years is hardly enough to draw any conclusions from. Not to mention, how much longer is Indiana gonna have Cig in the big picture? Another decade would be nice, but I can’t see much further on than that. The guy’s 65 now.
@Thelegendaryromero65 in June and 2 year sample of nearly 30 games is def a good size sample. I do agree I wish he was 45/55 this upcoming season instead of 65, but beggars can’t be choosers!
Discounting IU again...Nothing has changed. They should be a 10
Or an 11
Someday he'll be right. In the year 2030.
They had a huge amount of success with Cig's seasoned veterans that he ported over from JMU. Virtually all those guys are gone. We'll see what he can do with a heavy portal class but yeah, there's definitely questions to be answered. I agree with the 9.

They never dominated the big boys, they played disciplined and schemed. But plays broke down all the time and they needed Roarke, Mendoza to escape pressure and even run for gains.
Schedule is also harder.
A 9 is still great.
OSU, OR, and IU are all at least 10 win teams. Their schedules are easy.
Think you forgot to discuss UCLA
As a USC fan I dont think this will be the year. I think 10-2 is realistic. The following year feels like the year per say.
USC vs Oregon was one of the games I actually was worried about as an Oregon fan for 2025. We had freshie corners up against two pretty nasty receivers and a QB who can run. If ya'll had a remotely confident defense that game would have been a nail biter
@1990RHall That was a game that everyone was hyping us up. But the matter of the fact is our defense and ST was abysmal.
Sc making the playoffs
USC/Penn State decides a playoff spot IMO
@1990RHallThe difference in the game was the special teams. It’s hard to win when your special teams is responsible for a 31 point shift in the score.
If Iowa surprises Michigan, loses to ohio state, and wins out, do they make the playoffs? Assuming OSU and oregon undefeated and indiana and PSU with 1 loss? Could big 10 get 5 spots?
Would be fun but as long as Iowa beats Iowa State, Nebraska, Minnesota I’m a happy man. Throw in a good ole fashioned Saturday night Kinnick Stadium upset as the cherry on top.
8 home games indnia dam
PSU and Indiana schedules are very manageable. Not in the B10 but ND has the weakest schedule and we'll be hearing about NC and Heisman from ND by Halloween. B10 will come down to OSU, Oregon, and USC. Michigan is gonna get hit by the NCAA any day now and will be bowl ineligible. The UM Athletic Department does indeed lack institutional control and no matter how dysfunctional the NCAA is...they won't be able to ignore it in the coming weeks...
I thought nil was supposed to tear down teams like Ohio State, why are they still at the top every season?
Penn state got blessed with the easiest schedule in the conference
Penn State is set up for Indy.
Picking north western to beat Penn state,
Love Penn state fans but north western defense last year finished strong against Michigan then NW brings in chip Kelly.
I look for NW to do good things this year.
BTW I'm from Oregon go Ducks

I have no idea why we are so far behind USC and UM in odds though. I don't think we win the B1G, but that is kind of insulting.
I’m out on USC, they always get hype and then do average at best
I wouldn’t call 3 losses 1 by a field goal average but I understand we get so much hype and fall short
Very rough schedule stopped USC last year and this year's schedule is just as tough. But this team is ready for war and has the potential to end up on top!
@FlgarlandShanks It was 4 losses and the TCU loss was embarrassing and should not be forgotten
USC hasn’t proven they can put a great defense on the field. Until they can put a competent defense on the field, they will struggle.
@brownsloyalist5417u mean the loss when USC played without half of their team, including their RB1, RB2, TE1, TE2, WR1, WR2, LT, RG, C, FS SS, MLB, CB1, DE, and DT? Obviously USC didn’t want to lose that game, but to group that in with the others is ridiculous. TCU had one opt out. Every other starter played in that game.
I will not have any trust for USC until they earn it. Until then I am not going to give them the benefit of the doubt because they don’t deserve it.
You act like Penn State will win over UW at Washington, like it’s going to be a cake walk. They will lose 4 or more next year even with the easy schedule.

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHA USC fans were talking withe their chest out a couple years ago, what happened? LR is an Offensive coordinator and that’s it.
Do or die for the Trojans this year
Yall ngas sleeping on usc😹
USC is over-rated. Lincoln Riley has been doing less with more since he got to USC.
Is he suddenly going to "patch" the USC boat?
Lincoln Riley is all "Rep" and no substance until further notice.
Lincoln is way too comfortable with his SoCal lifestyle.
He's lost the eye of the Tiger.

@IvetteColmenero-p6o You know what rhymes with 9-3? USC!
@IvetteColmenero-p6o
🤣 😂
@IvetteColmenero-p6o take this down you sound dumb, talking just to talk. At least give a reason why you believe he's wrong.
😂😂you don’t know football
They won’t win it so doesn’t matter but what on EARTH has Nebraska UCLA and Wisconsin done to be thought of more highly than Minnesota as a program. Nebraska hasn’t beat them since Y2K
Are you ever gonna be right about any prediction that you make cause as long as I have been watching you you never are right. Go ahead sleep on indiana again they only won the title and reloaded. It's comical the things you say
Ohio state is going to miss the playoffs
😂 I’ll put money on that, all day everyday. Ohio State barely missed out on 4 team playoff, no chance Ohio State misses the expanded playoffs..especially this year. They aren’t Texass
Lmao ohio state hasnt won the Big Ten in 6 years
I think Michigan is overhyped they should not be above Penn State at least due to their schedule and new coach, maybe close to USC but they are also a bit overhyped as well
We need to see a lot of progress from Underwood to take them seriously. We kinda need to understand he was a freshman last year, but let's see some improvement before I take TTUN seriously.
Penn state also has a new coach
@moopert86 He also didn't even have a QB coach last year, his HC was too busy smashing to bother getting him the help a true freshman needs. I expect a significant turnaround for him this year.
its like you are ignoring the fact the PSU has a whole new staff and players 🤦♂ 🤦♂
@jeremygilbert7989Penn state doesn’t even have a real football roster 💀 that’s how bad of a football team they have rn
Indiana will be better this year than last year
Michigan is an 8 or 9
There’s too many unknowns with them right now. New coach, QB needs to step up, lots of new pieces coming and going. To make the B1G CG, you’ve usually got to go undefeated or 1 loss only in B1G play. I can’t confidently believe Michigan is doing that this year with that difficult schedule.
They are and always will be Midchigan, without being able to cheat.
Calling it in March…
USC will upset Indiana in conference championship game and win the Big10
Very bold claim because I just don’t see USC winning enough conference games to make it to the title game.
USC will have to take a massive leap on defense, and I just don’t see it.
I appreciate the level of hope you carry for USC. But I just dont see them beating Oregon, Ohio AND Indiana. It would be a generational run if they pulled that off in a single season
How would that happen when IU will beat them in conference play.
@1990RHallthey can go 2-1 in those games if they play well, 1-2 is all they need for playoffs tbh
Indiana did scrape by, what are you talking about
Indiana did not scrape by. They finished the season 16-0… sure, one close game against Penn State but weird stuff happens in CFB. You can’t say they “scraped by” when they beat Oregon, Ohio State, Alabama, and Miami.
@namarbnaiguess you didnt watch the games.
@jamesalyons30right, like when they beat Oregon 56-22 and Alabama 38-3. Those were some real nail biters
@namarbnaiit's ok to not have watched all the games. Not many people watched Indiana football all year.
Everyone watched IU. You are dumb
Indiana is a cupcake schedule! Michigan & Ohio St. are the only teams who could beat them! Think they'd go 1-1 just cause it's back-to-back & the physical toll it would take on them.
I've got Indiana at 3 losses.
Did Curt Cignetti leave?
Drugs won't affect the kid
The kid:
@stretch141000
Not everything can always go perfectly your way. The games versus Penn state, Iowa, Ohio state could have all been losses last year.
To who? The only maybe loss is Ohio St.
@Fooballsicko sure i guess, just seems crazy to me to predict 3 losses in one year when he hasn't even hit 3 losses yet since becoming head coach.
Minnesota will have 9 or 10 wins this year. Drake is going to be one of the best passers in all the B1G this year. ☑️🗒🖊
