The college football season is less than three weeks away and as I try to pass the time between watching baseball highlights and Brett Favre speculation, I can't wait for the gridiron action to get started. So, if we can't watch football, we're going to talk football. So let's continue the Preseason College Football Top 25 Countdown.
#10. Wisconsin Badgers - Expectations are always going to be high when your team returns the Conference Offensive Player of the Year and that is exactly the case at Wisconsin this year with John Clay back in 2010. Clay ran for 1,517 yards and 18 TDs last season and he will have all five offensive lineman returning with him to help him find his way. Along with what will certainly be a strong running game, the Badgers return steady QB Scott Tolzien and WR Nick Toon (son of NFL legend Al Toon), which should give them a balanced attack in 2010.What will be the biggest focus in 2010 for the Badgers is keeping leads. The Badgers were terrible in the fourth quarter last season and the defense wasn't entirely helpful in the area. On the bright side the Badgers were tops in the Big Ten in run defense last year with an attack led by DE J.J. Wyatt and LB Chris Borland. In a league that is still run dominant having a great run defense is at a premium.
The non conference schedule is a joke so the season should come down to a home game against Ohio State and road games at Michigan State and at Iowa. Of course there is always the chance of an unexpected loss (at Michigan, at Purdue).
