It's always fun to offer bold predictions before football season kicks off. In the end, more times than not, the practice makes you look silly. Like, two years ago when I pegged Illinois' Nathan Scheelhaase to be in the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year race. Whatever, it's still entertaining. That being the case, I asked my Twitter followers for their 2013 bold predictions, and there were some bold ones.
First impression: Either a lot of Indiana fans replied to this tweet, or people really like the Hoosiers as a surprise, improved team.
THE BOLDEST
