2024 Big Ten Preview: Contender Tiers & Big Storylines

USC better without Caleb Williams which sounds ridiculous based on how talented he is, D will be much improved and favorable schedule even though out of conference schedule is brutal.

I think you guys underestimate the weather conditions in the BIG. There have been games won or lost based on the weather removed the passing game from being viable.

If you cannot run, you cannot win in the BIG, consistently. I think you are over valuing QBs and under valuing teams that can run the ball.

Everyone is hi on Maryland early, but they have the most dependable trend as the weather gets bad.

Iowa has so much returning, it is difficult to see how they do not match or do better than last year. Whisky, again they stopped running the ball and looked what happened...until they change back to a more run first team, they will not be as good as they have been.

Heres the thing, you don't think Michigan had a good offense last year, they did exactly what they wanted to.

I do not think Chip Kelley is positive, he is great but I think Day is better. We will see if they can each use their strength or if it ends up being adding their weakness.

Wow! Chip Kelly finally recognized he is a better OC than HC. Look out for Ohio State folks.

I got michigan about 8 or 9 wins myself they will without a doubt drop off!

Football is not play on paper what hell as Oregon done they were one of the most talented team in pac 12 how did that workout

Ohio State is king cry about it

Kinda like tho show but man it’s alot of rambling sometimes.

The question is, can Michigan get through a season without cheating? (Or without getting caught?) Last Natty should have an asterisk.

Love the USC hate, it’s everywhere

The only coach who comprehends Riley’s offense is the safety coach at Wisconsin. Other than that, good luck!✌️

After seeing the weight USC has put on the off-season. I bet they finish 3rd or 4th. USC will surprise folks.

Also the PAC12 was the best conference in Football last year. The Big10 is the
Big3
1.Ohio St 2.Mich

Half teams 3a Iowa's D, Penn st at home.

My favorite small college player making it in the NFL is Kent State linebacker Jack Lambert.

The guy on the left absolutely hates Michigan look at the stream when Michigan beat Washington the anger and the sadness in that losers eyes

UCLA 🐻💙💛

The problem with Penn St is Franklin. He's always had great talent but always underperformed. He's in the same bus as Freeman at ND, Riley at USC & Kelly at LSU. They make a lot of noise but their noise can't get to the next level. Bah humbug on all of them.

Miller Moss was top 5 QB in highschool 😂 yall are sick.. USC is Top 3 right now in the Big10 and there WR room is top 3 in the Nation y'all are silly 😂. Big10 Talking heads clearly haven't done any research on USC this off-season. Lynn took UCLA to a top 10 defense last year with WAAAAY Less talent than USC currently has. USC Problem wasn't talent, it was a terrible scheme. Can't wait to hear the excuses this season 😂

Chip left Oregon for NFL. Failure to work with adults. Went back to college football and I don't think he deserves the position. Oregon has changed and no longer Marcus Marriota. A lot has changed. There are about 8-9 teams that will have upsets and major failures.

You guys don’t know shit! 3rd best receivers in the conference for usc?? Save this for later

Michigan with the 7th least returning production but they are in the top tier.

Only ever heard you guys voices. Ty looks nothing like how I imagined lol

Yeah, OR & the Suckeyes would stand out as flawless teams... as for years, and even prior to NIL, their top players were living in nice apartments and driving Lambos. Now all their players are rich, though some might be driving 85k pickups instead... they can also buy top-shelf pot. The money flows, the quality grows... funny how that works!

Have you guys forgotten how damaged PSU's reputation / recruiting was after the Sandusky/Second Mile scandal was sculpted to taint the school? It's taken years to grind through that absolute morass, and get HS coaches around the country to dismiss that crap and allow relationships. That's why we started filling the gaps with JUCO kids - who did great, btw. In those depressing years, MeatChicken & the Suckeyes rose, with opposing Big10 coaches telling blue-chippers that PSU was 'pedo-U' in the effort to keep them away.
PSU is also been behind in the NIL efforts, too... in part because so many of the old-heads in our alumni group still hold grudges against PSU because of the actions of earlier school officials... and resist donating for FB... even though those officials are long gone.
Paterno's "Success with Honor" regime still keeps people feeling that paying players is not true to the college spirit... and it takes time to purge all that stuff from the system.

Fleck has never beaten Bielema. Even as bad as Illinois has been

USC has a massive OL. They average 6'5" 320 lbs across the board. They loaded up on defense with Sr. starters. Its a Sr. Lead defense now. They return 5 of their top defensive players from last year and added a half dozen Sr's who started on their old team.
However their biggest advantage is the addition of DC D'Anton Lynn (UCLA) who brings the Ravens Scheme with him DL coach Eric Henderson (Rams) DB, DB's Doug Belk (Alabama)
Matt Entz LB (NDS) NC head coach. On paper this is an elite coaching staff. Their last DC Alex Grinch was the worst DC in college football. The win against Louisville was a defense without him..
