The BIG 10 is coming back on October 24, so I decided to do predictions for one of the teams I like's (as a fan not as a prediction for CFP) season. Northwestern is this one. Go Wildcats! Northwestern has no ranked teams on their 8 game mini schedule. They will have a healthy TJ Green leading the offense and a healthy Paddy Fisher leading the D. A lot of their opponets' main playmakers have left. Men like Winfield Jr. (Minnesota), Taylor (Wisconson), Stanley and Espinosa (Iowa) have left. They will get to face Tua's younger brother in week 1's bout against Maryland. The BIG 10 Championship will be held on December 19. I know that the Cats went 3-9 last year, but they were riddled with injuries. They will bounce back this year. Everyone is healthy. Predictions: Team Date Prediction Record
