If not we are already used to that MSU/Wiksy thugball [censored] so we can play it if we have to. Not all teams can play both styles, we can.

along those same lines, i think the officiating in the B10 hurts us. if we get officials that call a tighter game than we are used to i think that will benefit our team.

Think about how Officiating crews can influence a game. Crews used to power conferences would allow about anything in a game between finesse teams , and vice versa. I have noticed in the past that Big ten teams were hurt by the crews from other conferences where they played a finess team.
That could make a big difference in a closer rated game. |

Honestly, do you guys see Florida losing to any of these guys?
I really don't think they're as great as people make them to be, and I really want to pick an upset, but there are no teams in the region that make it easy to pick.
Maryland? Oregon?
I also don't think that Wisconsin will make it far at all.
