In arguably, what is the toughest conference in college football, the Big Ten, life is about to get even harder for OBD. In a future article I will make the case that there are five teams that will be responsible for this, but first, let’s look at the 12 teams that did not make my list. I would love your ...

Oh Don....great article, but I do have two areas of disagreement.

First...your beloved Hawkeyes are not in the top five of teams that will make life harder for the Ducks? My friend...they already have made life harder, as we were fortunate to escape that incredibly tough environment this last fall. Any team that goes to Iowa City is in for a big-battle. With a new QB...I see more of that from Iowa.

Second...quietly...Bret Bielema has built a strong team at Illinois. They have gradually become better, and this year won NINE games, including a sweet win over the SEC in their bowl game against Tennessee. I see a very tough trip to Champaign this fall, and thus the Illini are certainly going to make life harder for the Ducks and all Big-10 opponents...IMHO.


My Duck-Buddies....this article by Don Marsh is well thought out, and fun to discuss. It is a great example of an opinion article that gets us all pondering, and something our writers at FishDuck.com enjoy to contribute to the forum. Do YOU have something to say? Write it in an email or on a Word Document and email it to me charles@fishduck.com and I'll take it from there. We'll have an editor polish it, and I will add pictures.

I could use guest articles in the off-season, and I am very grateful to people who contribute as they do so often. Thanks to Jon Joseph, Mike Whitty, Mike West, and of course--Don Marsh. Add your name to that list!
