My thoughts on each game:
Sep 01 vs. Alabama (in Arlington, TX) -- They get absolutely killed. It may not be a huge margin score-wise, but the game won't even be close, much like the Alabama-PSU games of the last two years.
Sep 08 Air Force 3:30 pm ABC - W
Sep 15 Massachusetts 3:30 pm BTN - W
Sep 22 @ Notre Dame 7:30 pm NBC - L (They've gotten really lucky several years in a row in pulling out tight games against ND. The law of averages catches up with them this year on the road.)
Oct 06 @ Purdue 4:00 PM BTN - Toss up.
Oct 13 Illinois 3:30 PM ABC - W
Oct 20 Michigan State TBA - Toss up.
Oct 27 @ Nebraska 8:00 pm - Toss up.
Nov 03 @ Minnesota TBA - W
Nov 10 Northwestern TBA - W
Nov 17 Iowa TBA - W
Nov 24 @ Ohio State -Noon ABC - L
So that's 3 losses with three other toss ups. I say they'll luck out and win 2 of those 3 toss ups, so I'll go with 8-4.
