Hawks #1?


        Iowa (1-0) could be on top of the Legends division in the Big Ten this weekend with their bye week.  There are only 4 teams contending for first place right now in the Legends Division.
Nebraska is 1-0 heading in to their game at Ohio State.  They are not favored to win that game.  The Buckeyes have looked very strong through the first part of the season.  Nebraska has shown sparks of greatness but really struggled with consistency against decent opponents.  Let’s say Ohio State wins this one at home.
The next team is Northwestern (1-0).  They are taking on a very hot Penn State team.  After starting 0-2, Penn State has come back in convincing fashion to win their last three games.  Northwestern is only favored by 2.5 points in this game.  This will be a close one that goes down to the final drive.  For now, let’s say Penn State pulls a small upset.
The last team is Michigan, who hasn’t played a Big Ten game yet.  They have to vs. Purdue in their Big Ten opener.  Michigan is favored but I don’t know why.  They have looked really bad against two good opponents.  They have shown that they aren’t a championship caliber team.  Purdue on the other hand is 4-0 and scoring 40+ points per game.  They have a lot of defensive stars and can play very well.  I put my money on Purdue for the upset this week.
If all three of these games go this way, Iowa will be the sole leader of what will be the most contended division in all College Football, the Legends Division.  Savor it while it lasts Hawks.  Michigan State in one week will tell us where the Hawks really stand for this year.
