[QUOTE="GameOfThrows, post: 1222541, member: 566478"] Last season Iowa had the easiest crossover schedule (Maryland, @ Indiana) and that definitely helped them in their run to the title. Looking at crossover schedules for the teams in the West: Illinois - @ Rutgers, @ Michigan, Michigan St Iowa - @ Rutgers, @ Penn St, Michigan Minnesota - @ Penn St, @ Maryland, Rutgers Nebraska - @ Indiana, @ Ohio St, Maryland Northwestern - @ Michigan St, Indiana, @ Ohio St Purdue - @ Maryland, Penn St., @ Indiana Wisconsin - @ Michigan St, @ Michigan, Ohio St Every BIG West team has two road games. I assume next season will reverse. I like that they are doing that for competitive balance. Let's hope my assumption is correct. If you know, please chime in. Purdue has the easiest schedule, but 100% of non Purdue fans will be shocked if they make a run this season. Outside of Purdue I think the other 6 teams have the potential to win the West. Nebraska and Minnesota have the easiest crossover games only playing one of the top teams, so I will predict one of those two winning the West. I'll go with Nebraska. Wisconsin opens BIG play @MSU, @UM, Ohio St @ Iowa. They might be out of it before October ends. My uneducated prediction Nebraska 6-3 Iowa 5-4 Illinois 5-4 Wisconsin 5-4 Northwestern 4-5 Minnesota 4-5 Purdue 2-7 [/QUOTE]
