Finishing top 5 in the Big won’t be that difficult of an accomplishment.
Well... We've tied for 5th, solely possessed 5th, or finished better than 5th 7 out of the last 10 years, and Fran says this team is going to win a lot of games so...as they say...BOOK IT.
lol
I'll take the field -- Purdue, Indiana, Illinois, UCLA, Oregon, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Rutgers, Maryland, and maybe Wisconsin -- to potentially finish ahead of Iowa. I think Fran has had one foot out the door for awhile, and the vibe around the program seems limp and stale.
The West Coast swing (USC/UCLA) will be an 0fer, and we have to go to Wisconsin, Maryland, Rutgers, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio State. That's 8 likely losses right there, and sorry but we're not going to be undefeated at home. Purdue, Indiana, Michigan State, and Oregon -- we could lose all of those.
