No team in the Big 12 will finish with fewer than three losses
My hot take about the Big 12 is that nobody is coming outta that league with fewer than three losses. I think it's gonna be a one-bid league.

[Jacoby Brissett] is a good quarterback. He'll get you probably eight wins if he starts the entire season... I'm just saying Jacoby Brissett feels like an eight-win quarterback guy under the radar.
Jacoby Brissett is a 'tread water' quarterback, not an eight-win guy
I wouldn't say he's an eight win quarterback. I think he's a get you a couple wins in, like your starter goes down. Jacoby Brissett comes in, he can tread water. He's a tread water guy. He's a three and four guy.

Indiana has a real chance to have the best defensive line in the Big 10
I believe there's a chance that Indiana has the best defensive line in the Big 10. I think that is a real possibility with what they have, both as guys as they've developed. And because with the new rules, some people they've been able to bring back who weren't in NFL camps... They've got like fathers of three on their defensive line. And I think that's a huge advantage to have.
The Big 10 will only get three teams into the 2026 College Football Playoff
