I expect OSU will beat Iowa, Iowa will beat Michigan, and Michigan will beat OSU. We'll probably lose to someone else (MSU is the trendy choice), but Wisconsin is going to be way down from last year, so it's probably not them.
I've already posted this statistical analysis of that idea, but it was well received, so here it is again:

Here's the punchline:
Yes, we're overrated. So are all the other top 10 teams(minus USC, I suppose), in all likelihood. Surprise teams make the preseason top 10 all likely to finish lower than they start.KillSlashBurn said:

No mercy
Got em dropping three L's (at least):
Penn St (darkhorse loss) - I believe that Penn St will have an impressive D that has the distinct possibility to shut down the air control and make em play it out on the gorund where Penn St will win the game at.
OSU - Weve got Tressel, need I say more???
Bowl Game - Have you seen their past two consecutive Rose Bowl losses? That just dont play well in big games anymore and this is where Carr begins to shine as a reincarnated Cooper, dropping yet ANOTHER bowl game.

I picked Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Bowl Game.
Wisconsin is not a good game for Michigan at all for a variety of reasons. Wisconsin is Michigan's first road game and we know about Michigan's first road game. It's also at night. Now any game away at night will add an extra level of difficulty but this is at Camp Randall. Camp Randall isn't a fun place to play night or day. Plus, this is Alvarez's last year, and I think Wisconsin will come out be hungrier and play tougher than normal.
So despite Wisconsin's losses from last year, I will be surprised if Michigan wins against all those elements.

Actually Mili, it says dav voted for scUM to lose to OSU as well.
BUT... Two people on here are complete and total FUCKHEADS for not voting for Ohio State to beat M*ch*g*n. One of them was TheMile - which is understandable to an extent. He's backing his team - even if that makes him a dumbass. I got tired of cross-referencing everybody on there, so I'm just calling the ohter person out now.

Not a good year to play the "State" schools, Lloyd. Mich State, Penn State, and Ohio State will all give the scUM boys a thumping. Not to mention the traditional bowl loss. Jim Herrman will be looking for a job in the off-season as he will be Lloyd's sacrificial lamb.

Calmer than you are.
I picked N. Illinois, tOSU, and the bowl game. Gotta go with a MAC team that has had a few upsets recently against bigger schools, especially since scUM will be looking for a little revenge against the domers. That's the same reason that, as weak as they are, San Diego State worries me, with Iowa coming the following week. I honestly only expect NIU to beat the 18.5 point spread, but I didn't want dav713 to think he was the only dumbass to pick N. Illinois to win the game. 
The other two are obvious picks, unless scUM gets knocked out of a New Year's Day bowl game, they will probably lose their bowl game. Because that's what they do.
