65 predictions, Big Ten

I feel the least confident here as I do in any of my other predictions...but here goes:

t-1: Penn State (winner of head-to-head with Ohio State, but drops a conference road game)
t-1: Ohio State (loses both of its tough games: USC and at Penn State)
3: Michigan State (gets Iowa at home to snag 3rd place: should be a good season for Sparty, most of their tough conference games are at home)
4: Iowa (a noble effort from the perennially overrated Hawkeyes)
5: Northwestern (if they can pull off the upset against Penn State...)
t-6: Illinois (better than last year, but still not a great end to a career for the Juice)
t-6: Wisconsin (they've got a difficult slate this year)
8: Michigan (biggest movement upward of any team, but there was plenty of room for improvement)
9: Minnesota (one step forward last year, two steps back this year)
10: Purdue (not too long ago Tiller had an upper echelon team, now he's retired and not a moment too soon: they could spring an upset or two but don't expect them to compete for the Rose Bowl bid)
11: Indiana (just hoping for a win in conference)
