BIG TEN SURPRISES : Which B1G teams could SHOCK us all in 2024?

If you know Greg Schiano, the trajectory of Rutgers really is no surprise. It's not shocking that he currently has the #7 recruiting class in the nation. It's not shocking that he beat Miami in a bowl last year. It's not shocking that he has the best RB and a top defense in the B1G. Don't be surprised when Rutgers hits 10-2 and backdoors into the CFP. It will be shocking to a casual fan, but anyone that pays attention closely can see Rutgers coming, and coming hard.

Gophers had the #2 transfer portal class in B1G....at least top 4. Veteran O-Line and D-Line. 17 returning starters and a new QB. 8 wins in the boat

Msu i think will be a surprise

From LA to Piscataway, a phrase I never thought I would hear. Football (and basketball) play in Piscataway on the east side of the Raritan River. The historic core of the university is on the west side of the river in New Brunswick and that is where you will alight if you take the train from Penn Station.

This is a great episode! Love it! Every one of these teams deserved this kind of coverage. Great job Ted! Love it!

Minnesota shocks everyone after going 11-1 this season... Playoffs for the first time in Fleck era.

Great stuff

Ted my guy you forgot my Boilers!! 😅 I think Purdue is going to surprise their way to a bowl game and maybe a win or two more!

Think Andy k new oc PSU could surprise win it all

Gophers are going to surprise a lot of people. If the new quarterback comes on strong, which I believe he will…look out!

fb squad that might make the biggest jump, improvement-wise, in '24 bigTen play? IU.

Minnesota Golden gopher are surprising teams that could have a big impact in big ten I just saying they could surprisingly your I look for them to have a great years if.they.can.get running games goings and get passes games going they could be teams to beat I just saying it's anyone's games big ten is wild open anyone's can.win.big ten west or big ten east 👍

Ruthers and Maryland are the only ones I think can. Minnesota always screws themselves even in 2019 when they had that magical year.
