Handicapping the 2012 Big Ten race

Illinois: 50-to-1

Ownership changed trainers (from Ron Zook to Tim Beckman) after some disappointing finishes. This talented contender was a big-time pacesetter last year (6-0 start) but faded badly down the stretch (0-6 regular-season finish). Perhaps some new training methods will help and the defense sure looks great in the paddock. But past performance indicates this is an underachiever.

So, because we underachieved under Zook (as his teams were prone to do) it means we are bound to do the same under Beckman (who's teams have done anything but underachieve)?
