Ridiculously Early Previews: Big Ten Style

Mmmmmmm...you smell that? That's the smell of the off season, and it smells like...plagiarism. Delicious. I put it on toast.

In all fairness, it's not really plagiarism if you can't hope to do it as well as the original right? What if you link to their site? Will that help?

Go to SMQ to read ludicrously early previews of obscure teams. You can also visit any college football blog in the world for a "stuff ____ and ____ people like" post, so I don't feel too bad about this.

Starting this week, Champ and I will run through ridiculously early previews of all 11 Big Ten teams. For added difficulty (and style points!) we'll be doing it in....alphabetic order!!

After a brief overview to get you caught up, Champ and I will go over the following questions in separate posts:

1. One thing the media will harp on that is ridiculously off base
2. One thing the media will completely ignore that is integral to this team's success
3. Most important contributors on each side of the ball
4. Area that scares you as an opponent
5. Area that makes you salivate as an opponent
6. Random factor that you think will come into play this season
7. Overall Record
8. Final Big Ten Standing
9. Bowl Game Destination

Disagreements will be had, and I'm not above a rope fight in the Octagon to settle them. I'm not saying it will happen, I'm not saying it won't. Just know that I'm not above it.

Now that you know the format, we'll forge on with the first in our alphabetized list of Big 10 Teams: Indiana University (I decided to use full official names - thus placing Indiana above "University of Illinois," smartass).
