Seeing Wolverine's biggest weakness a lack of go-to big time receiver. Offensive line good, defense good, experienced returning qb, kicking game a little step back.
Ohio State's biggest question mark, IMO, is o-line. The o-line had problems in spring game, maybe defense vastly improved under Knowles? Bucs have good rb's, top rated inexperienced qb and Harrison at WR. Also don't forget OC Wilson is gone! IMO, he was very, very, good. Hartline gets his first crack at an OC job, something to watch.
Penn State has a lot going for it. O-line should be improved over last yr, rb's look to be solid, qb Allar has some experience, wr's appear avg but solid. They get Michigan at home this year.
A sleeper would be the Terps at 61-1. Watched the Terps at Michigan last year on my DVR. They could have won that game, offense moved up and down the field until Tagovailola got smacked hard. Yet Terps have o-line with only 31 FBS starts and four transfers to help that line so that hurts. Defensive line looks inexperienced, linebackers ok. So there is a reason for 61-1 odds. See Terps covered both Mich and Ohio St games last yr, but Penn St owns the Terps. Since 2018, not including COVID yr 2000, the Lions had scored 158 pts in those four games compared to 23 for Maryland.
Anything can happen during a complete season. Michigan's McCarthy is dual threat but not built to take punishment. So he better be careful. Backup Tuttle would be a big drop if he needed to step in. Ohio St better get that o-line straightened out and hope Hartline can handle big time OC duties.
For a team like Maryland to win it all a whole bunch of luck for them needed. Opponents with critical injury loses at the right time, they do get Mich. right before Ohio St, an overachieving off and def line, etc.
And that's only the East division. Maybe Wisconsin under Fickle makes a move. A lot of changes there though. All new coaches and schemes.

Big house
Oh yes, I agree they have a great chance. So let's say the O-line jells in August, Knowles defense steps it up a notch as expected, and Hartline is a good OC. Having talented wr's and possibly wr Harrison as the x-factor that would make them superior again in the BIG10.
That is why we call it gambling. Predict how it all shakes out.
That statement sounds amature. Returning starters have no bearing on a season but rather 4 and 5 star recruits do, whether returning or new recruits. That's been a proven fact for many, many years, esp if someone is looking for a potential national champion. Based on that Ohio State has the clear advantage, followed by Penn State and Michigan a distant 2nd and 3rd and they all 3 happen to be the top 3 on the odds board.

Youre immature. learn how to spell. You can't get it right with spell checker? Wow it must have stumped you bad!
Just ask any team that lost its starting QB to the NFL draft about it not meaning anything. What stupid remark that is.
You are one trouble-seeking, asshole troll, who hasn't won at anything.
When you can match my win record in College Foots - stop in anytime.
WE a; know that when you said fade G-Man, you got crushed every time. LOL
How many aliases have you used here?
And when you use posted odds to sound like you know who is best, you have zero input.
Everyone seeing the odds posted is aware of the potential. LOL
Why dont you simply stalk all the other answers.
No reason to call names and be immature. You take everything so personal. It's ok to learn from others. BTW its "you're"
Why do you say that. Just out of curiosity. Over the last 4 years they have the highest percentage of 4 & 5 star recruits than any other team in the nation.
Yeah there's another conference similar strategy can be used
Alias Sportsnut1 is Doc Halliday...LOL
