Middle Tennessee isn't an easy out either.

Then they have Maryland, @Purdue, Michigan State, and Illinois. No better than 3-1 there IMO, probably 2-2...so 4-8 prediction makes some sense.

I don't know about only 2-2. I can see them going 3-1 pretty easy. They should win both @Purdue and Illinois. Then it's just a matter of splitting Maryland and MSU both of which they host at their place. MSU should rebound but with all the off field/off season stuff we shall see. Maryland will be better but I want to see what the defense does and all the young players.
