The Big Ten East will be a gauntlet, as usual. Which teams have the most difficult path in 2017?
Any team with a good quarterback is dangerous. And the Big Ten will see several good signal-callers this fall during non-conference action. See the top 15 quarterbacks, according to BTN senior writer Tom Dienhart, the Big Ten will face.
Upsets. They happen. Ask Iowa fans, who won’t soon forget losing at home to FCS North Dakota State last season. Northwestern can sympathize, as the Wildcats fell at home to Illinois State in 2016. No doubt, more upsets will take place this fall.
Few things get fans more excited than an upset. Most will fondly recall the time their school knocked off a team that it was supposed to lose to. Some upsets of note of recent vintage are Michigan State taking down Ohio State in Columbus in 2015.
They are on every schedule—even your school’s. They are the easy games. You know, games that look like a sure win. Some call them “creampuff games” or “layups.” Get Tom Dienhart's pick for each Big Ten school's easiest game this season.
