And what is a wide open Big Ten race, in my opinion? Pretty deep Big Ten this year, but kind of that. We'll give our thoughts on these teams. And what is a wide open, big 10 race, in my opinion, pretty deep Big 10 this year, but kind of weak at the top. And that's kind of what we'll talk about by the favorites we picked in this one. Didn't feel great about the favorites that I picked in this one. But Derek Piper, it was a good Big Ten media days. We weren't going to go there and nobody from the Illinois beat was going to go there because it's all the way up in Minneapolis. And they do a great job with the local media day here.
