Does he even call the O now? Most people say Tressel calls the plays with help from Bollman. Bollman will finish the season as OC.

Tough to say, but sell. I feel the Big Ten will be mediocre to bad again this year with alot of teams replacing incumbent QB's and role players. 3 is a reasonable number, but until I see some regular season games and maybe some improvement from the other teams in the conference, I'll say sell. The past few seasons have left me with little to no hope outside of the Bucks. I just need to see something different. 1-6 last year was terrible, 0-6 in the last three years' BCS is horrendous too.

BoS: Jermaile Hines is the leading tackler this season?

Off the top of my head OSU, PSU, ILL, Minny, Iowa and IU return their QB's from last year. MSU, Wisky and scUM should all improve the QB position even if its with a new player. Unsure about Purdue or NU (not that they matter).

Initially I was thinking the same thing about the B10 in general but that many quality returning QB's give me the feeling the B10 might be better than people think.

I'll buy Hines as the leading tackler.

BoS: Chimdi Chekwa is all B10.

sell if you mean first team, maybe buy if its honorable mention or better. Then again, how much competition is there around the B10? Interesting BoS now that I think about it.

Off the top of my head Warren at scUM is the only "name" CB I can think of coming back in the B10.

EDIT
Spievey from Iowa is the only returning corner from the 1st or 2nd team all B10 last year. Valai from Wiksy also returns but he is a safety.

Looking at it from that angle I say buy. Chekwa is good enough to be 1st or 2nd team All B10.

Yeah, I thought about it more and knew that Minny, PSU and Ill, with tOSU had their QB's coming back, Iowa and IU I'm really not even concerned with being as that I don't know if IU will make a bowl, and wonder how Iowa will do without Greene. I see what your saying though, I do think that even with the others replacing their former starters with better players, there is still that learning curve. I feel the same about Purdue and NU as well. I hope your right and I'm wrong about the Big Ten. I really do. But, I'll stay reserved with precedent until I see some action. As of right now recent past bowl records don't have me taking more than 3 wins for the Big Ten, though time will tell.

I'll buy Hines as well.

BoS: 3+ defensive and Special teams TD's?

Buy- It'll be close. I'll say 2 Defensive TD's and 1 Special Teams.

Buy, got a few weak defensive teams scheduled and I think the vest will let him air it out on them. Although Tressel is very anti-blowing-the-doors-of-a-team so that muddies (sp?) the water a little. I'm going buy 'cause I like to be optimistic.

BoS: Ross Homan is an all B10 Honerable Mention (or better)

My thoughts exactly.

And I'll buy Pryor for 4, mainly becuase if any one breaks a long one that'll help the cause, however I'd be more apt to buy a 3 passing and 1 rushing TD game. 4 is very plausible though.

Especially considering he did it in his first career start.

Big-time buy definitely...they play New Mexico State (if JT leaves him out there long enough, that is).

BoS: Ohio State scores at least 55 on someone this year.

Sell. JT will only do that to NU and they are off the schedule. Maaayybee Indiana, they are pretty helpless.

Buy or Sell:

Georgia Tech builds on 2008 and challenges for the 2009 ACC title?
