Analyzing the six contenders

[BuckeyeTrail]

alright, so the big ten is basically a race between six teams: osu, mich, purdue, iowa, wiscy, and minn. everyone else sucks; psu might be better this year, but i highly doubt they'll win the conference.

so let's analyze these teams, as i know very little about them. which teams have the highest number of returning starters? of the 1st-year starters, how highly were they recruited? how does each team look at the key positions (QB and TB)? special teams? x-factors? intangibles? schedule?

this looks to be a wide open and very interesting race.
