All-Big 10 Predictions?

[SNIPER26]

Just for fun, put some predictions in.

QB- Todd Boeckman, Ohio State
RB- Mike Hart, Michigan
RB- Chris Wells, Ohio State
TE- Travis Beckum, Wisconsin
TE- Andrew Quarless, Penn State
WR- Mario Manningham, Michigan
WR- Brian Robiskie, Ohio State
OL- Jake Long, Michigan
OL- Kirk Barton, Ohio State
OL- Alex Boone, Ohio State
OL- Jordan Grimes, Purdue
OL- Adam Kraus, Michigan

DL- Vernon Gholston, Ohio State
DL- Brandon Graham, Michigan
DL- Jonal Saint-Dic, Michigan State
DL- Maurice Evans, Penn State
LB- James Laurinaitis, Ohio State
LB- Dan Connor, Penn State
LB- Shawn Crable, Michigan
DB- Malcolm Jenkins, Ohio State
DB- Jack Ikegwuonu, Wisconsin
DB- Tracey Porter, Indiana
DB- Vontae Davis, Illinois

Reasoning for some iffys...

4 DEs for the DL because they usually go by DL, not specifically DE and DT I think, and I feel those four have been the best.

Crable over Leman because he's made a lot of plays. Leman racks up tackles, but Crable (I know, I know, he's a DE sometimes) has racked up 22.5 TFL, among other stats, which, DE or not, is still damn good.

What do you think?

Ryan Mallett was picked to the All-Big 10 team 5 times in 4 years. Due to this they are going to rename it to be the Ryan Mallett team from here on out.

It was actually 8. Ryan was named the first and second team QB all four years.

I would think Mendenhall would be a first teamer.

If there's only two backs, I don't see him beating out Hart and Wells.

I'm seriously not busting your chops or anything, but what are Hart's stats in Big Ten play? Also, I can see him getting on the media team, but it will be tough for him to get the coaches vote after the way he's behaved. Here are conference only rushing stats which doesn't have Hart listed.

Here are Hart's Big 10 stats..

Vs. Penn State: 44 carries, 153 yards, 1 TD, 3.5 ypc
@ Northwestern: 30 carries, 106 yards, 1 TD, 3.5 ypc
Vs. Purdue: 21 carries, 102 yards, 2 TD, 4.9 ypc
@ Michigan State: 15 carries, 110 yards, 0 TD, 7.3 ypc

Plus, do you really expect voters to leave off UM's all time leading rusher after he was in the Heisman race for a good chunk of the season before he got hurt????????

That's a lot of question marks. Don't forget the voters are the coaches for one team, and the media for the other. Like I said earlier, he may have burned some bridges with a few of the coaches, and his injury may hurt him as well. Not to mention, Mendenhall has had a huge year in reviving the Illini, which can't go unnoticed. Heck, he may even get first team over Beanie.
