Believe it or not, we’re now just 100 days from Ohio State and Notre Dame fighting in the “shoe under the lights.” It seems like a long time, but think about what you did 100 days ago and you’ll realize it’ll be here before you know it.
We’ve said it before, but as the college football game continues to grow in popularity, it’s become a seasonal deal with season recaps, predictions for the upcoming season, and analysis of everything you can think of. Hell, the other day I was thinking about making a list of lists because — yeah, off-season and stuff.
Our friends at College Football News have also been on board with this year-round cause and have been for as long as I can remember. I mean, a website called College Football News and being like that kind of has to be, right?
During the offseason, Pete Fiutak embarks on a journey to design several parts for the future, and one of them projects each team’s overall wins for the upcoming season. And now that spring is over, it’s time to double-check.
But we’re not here to look at the whole nation, just the conference that your favorite team in scarlet and gray likes to mess around with and usually wins – the Big Ten.
Here’s what Fiutak says about the overall wins for all Big Ten soccer teams in 2022, post-spring observations tallying down from least to most wins.
