Intersting Pac-10 to Big Ten comparison. Anyways, I think a lot of people are underestimating Purdue. Sure they have an 'easy' Big Ten schedule, but they're also a VERY talented team. They probably have the best PK in the conferece in Ben Jones. They have a good defense, with 11 starters back. Their DE's are outstanding, and their back 7 is very good. Brandon Kirsch is a very good QB, they have two seniors at RB, and a deep group of WRs. They're instaling a spread-rush attack, with option and passing plays being run from it. I think a lot of teams are going to have a lot of problems defending it. It's definitely not just the schedule, this is probably their best team since the Rose Bowl team. Anyhow, I'd say they go 9-2, with losses to Iowa and Penn State.
