[iowajerms]

Who do you think WILL win? Not who you think should.

EAST

Indiana - Tom Allen (1st season)
Maryland - DJ Durkin (2nd season)
Michigan - Jim Harbaugh (3rd season)
Michigan State - Mark Dantonio (11th season)
Ohio State - Urban Meyer (6th season)
Penn State - James Franklin (4th season)
Rutgers - Chris Ash (1st season)

WEST

Illinois - Lovie Smith (2nd season)
Iowa - Kirk Ferentz (19th season)
Minnesota - PJ Fleck (1st season)
Nebraska - Mike Riley (3rd season)
Northwestern - Pat Fitzgerald (12th season)
Purdue - Jeff Brohm (1st season)
Wisconsin - Paul Chryst (3rd season)

Okay, I noticed I originally forgot Pat Fitzgerald in original poll, when I went to correct it, I put it where it should be but it saved it as 2 Wisconsin options, then added Fitzgerald

And to make it worse, Fitzgerald is my vote. I think NW is going to be tough this season. Very strong RB and very strong DBs.

It's Nebraska's Mike Riley.
He has all the pieces in place except for the QB, Defensive line, and some other shit.
But it will come together nicely for him.

Paul Chryst aka Mike from Mike and Molly.

Not Urban Meyer

I think Purdue will be surprisingly better. They actually have a decent passing game and a coach who will utilize it well. They won't be a great team but will be a scary trap team. I am worried about them vs Iowa. I can see them beating Iowa. Hopefully, Iowa's DBs are developed enough by that game.

Ferentz, and he'll get a lifetime extension with the option to opt out and he can't be fired...

Did I do that right?

Rutgers - Chris Ash (1st season)

This will be Chris Ash's 2nd season as Rutgers head coach.... also, he should not be confused with the King:

 

[7Samurai13]

I was thinking about Fleck but they went 9-4 last year and looking at their schedule, I don't see there will be much room to improve on that. Usually goes to a coach that comes out of no where and has a good season.

Mike Dantonio. I could easily see MSU doubling their win total this year.

 

[Rolltide94]

I assumed the 2nd Wisconsin was potato salad.

 

[outofyourmind]

I need multiple votes so I can pick Wisconsin twice.
Yeah
They are that good.

 

[Gopherfan84]

Franklin wins it after leading Penn St. to the B1G title.

 

[fishinabarrel]

Not Urban Meyer

Seriously. There was no need to include Ohio State in this poll

 

[Voltaire26]

Mike Dantonio. I could easily see MSU doubling their win total this year.

I think that is a very real possibility. Michigan State is not nearly as bad as they showed last year and D'antonio is an excellent coach.

I voted for Harbaugh because I am a homer and long before the season starts, I voting for my coach.

 

[outofyourmind]

Mike Dantonio

Not sure if this was a national story or not. It is a running joke in the state of Michigan though, because SI got his name wrong on a regional issue.
