Teddy Greenstein covers college football for the Chicago Tribune. He has been doing the individual team previews over the past few weeks and they've been pretty good..a couple were a little "iffy" in terms of sharing the possibilities for success of mid tier teams but overall good reads.
Today however Teddy and the Tribune did a great job in my opinion creating a pre-season guide. They covered a lot of the things I've talked about such as non conference schedule strength, question marks different teams have and more.
He put together predictions of how the Big Ten standings and overall win-loss records will be for each team (I'm just doing Big Ten conference records in a couple of weeks) and there was a decent article sharing how low the Big Ten has sunk in terms of the national media and fans around the country.
Earlier this week, Teddy was the first writer I've seen remind everyone that Michigan not only lost all their offensive players but their TOP 4 tacklers from last year. Makes you wonder how the UM defense is getting Top Ten ratings by certain media outlets?
I'd like to add that Scott Shafer was not the first choice of Rich Rodriquez and how much does anyone around here know about him and RichRod's defensive philosophy? Could work out great but rank them in the Top Ten nationally?
