Michigan State & Ohio State look their part (though OSU seems to not be gelling right now but they will get there), but Northwestern might be up there with all of them. They hammered a very sound Stanford team that just went into USC and beat the #6 ranked Trojans. Northwestern is the real deal - their defense is very stout. Michigan's has a tough slate starting now with BYU. I would argue we likely end up with the toughest BIG schedule. Go Blue!
