If you know Greg Schiano, the trajectory of Rutgers really is no surprise. It's not shocking that he currently has the #7 recruiting class in the nation. It's not shocking that he beat Miami in a bowl last year. It's not shocking that he has the best RB and a top defense in the B1G. Don't be surprised when Rutgers hits 10-2 and backdoors into the CFP. It will be shocking to a casual fan, but anyone that pays attention closely can see Rutgers coming, and coming hard.
It's a fun one because I feel we are bound for chaos with no division and 4 West Coast teams coming in, so many moving parts colliding. There may be teams that I didn't mention in here that could also surprise. I feel the conference is very deep and no true bad team this year.
@@BigTenTedI saw a video where he confirmed it himself. You do great coverage on all teams btw (even if I think you are a closet badger fan at times haha)
From LA to Piscataway, a phrase I never thought I would hear. Football (and basketball) play in Piscataway on the east side of the Raritan River. The historic core of the university is on the west side of the river in New Brunswick and that is where you will alight if you take the train from Penn Station.
I really like some of Purdue's pieces on offense & defense, but man that schedule. Notre Dame, Penn State, Oregon, Ohio State right off the top. Going to Wisconsin, a team Boilers haven't beaten in forever. It's a tough go in 2024.
Minnesota Golden gopher are surprising teams that could have a big impact in big ten I just saying they could surprisingly your I look for them to have a great years if.they.can.get running games goings and get passes games going they could be teams to beat I just saying it's anyone's games big ten is wild open anyone's can.win.big ten west or big ten east 👍

25 And '24 Ucla BigTen Fb Notes: In '25 BigTen regular season play: Ucla will have a top-5 WRs room in the b1g, along w enuf pass pro' to make vertically-challenged bigTen pass defenses pay. '24 Ucla WRs room: stacked but, imo, bruins' o-line may well fail to give qb garbers time to throw. '24 Ucla fb: the #1 widest-variance BigTen team, win-total-wise (4 to 8), dependent on a dangerously thin IDL [featuring only 2 known to be legit p-4 starters - and vs rugged b1g o-lines] & 2 OTs that, preseason, r not highly-rated. - June '24

My main concern with the passing game is who steps up alongside Daniel Jackson. Elijah Spencer? Brockington? Need that second and third option to step up.
No! Why even think that? He's a better recruiter than we've ever had. I think his game management needs to improve but I think if he is 6-6 this year and sub .500 next year, that could be a conversation.

This is a great episode! Love it! Every one of these teams deserved this kind of coverage. Great job Ted! Love it!

Gophers had the #2 transfer portal class in B1G....at least top 4. Veteran O-Line and D-Line. 17 returning starters and a new QB. 8 wins in the boat
I hope Minnesota will do good this year. I think they’re a sleeper team. I agree with you. We just got a schedule we got to go through.
I’m an Indiana fan, we have been bad forever, even with high expectations with Coach Cignetti, a winning season will be impressive.
Prepare to be impressed. I'm high on the Hoosiers!
Msu i think will be a surprise
Because they somehow get worse?
I think there gonna bust some asses quick, possible victory over a new uofm team and then in a year or two smith has got that program killin!
Ted my guy you forgot my Boilers!! 😅
I think Purdue is going to surprise their way to a bowl game and maybe a win or two more!

probably a 1 or 2 win team at PURDUE
Great stuff
Appreciate that!
Iowa?
They could go 11-1 so no they aren’t a sleeper
7-5
@@voiceofsports13 Iowa has had strong programs and is in a football loving state, so Iowa winning would not be a surprise to the rest of the Big10.

fb squad that might make the biggest jump, improvement-wise, in '24 bigTen play? IU.
I got Minnesota at 15-0! 😊
15-0 would be cool, but do you see 15-1 or 16-0?
Does Minnesota still have a team?
True it’s the most likely outcome
🤣🤣🤣
Go Badgers!!!!
Keep the ax!!!!
😂
Think Andy k new oc PSU could surprise win it all
That would be the biggest surprise of all time

Ranking teams when some have full commitments and some have only a third of whT class they will have is stupid. Let's rate them at Christmas ok.

Your 'sufficient enthusiasm' is 5☆. Let's talk 16-0. 😂
Ruthers and Maryland are the only ones I think can. Minnesota always screws themselves even in 2019 when they had that magical year.
Gophers are going to surprise a lot of people. If the new quarterback comes on strong, which I believe he will…look out!
My main concern with the passing game is who steps up alongside Daniel Jackson. Elijah Spencer? Brockington? Need that second and third option to step up.
Minnesota shocks everyone after going 11-1 this season... Playoffs for the first time in Fleck era.

USC dominated big ten schools. Look at the record. USC integrated Alabama football. West coast football coming to cornfed boys.
UCLA better chance than Minnesota surprising….
