Well, the coaches poll is out, and IU is number 1. I for one make the argument that the preseason polls mean jack, and what matters is what you can do in March, however we cannot deny that IU will have a good year this year. I for one am not a believer in Crean because of their defense, or lack there of. It will be a tough year this year in the big ten with other teams ranked in the top 25. Ohio State is number 4, Michigan number 5, Michigan State number 14, Wisconsin number 21, and Minnesota receiving votes. That's 5 top 25 teams, 3 in the top 10. I for one think Purdue has a great opportunity to make some noise and prove that they aren't going away in the big ten this year. I'm curious as to what the big ten will look like and finish this year in the big ten. My thought is....

1. Michigan State

2. Indiana

3. Ohio State

4. Michigan

5. Wisconsin

6. Iowa

7. Purdue

8. Minnesota

9. Northwestern

10. Illinois

11. Penn State

12. Nebraska
