Team on the rise: Illinois

Biggest question mark: Michigan State__

Wouldn't surprise me to see: __Campillo become the third IU player in 11 years to repeat as the conference's POY ... he's that good.

__Would shock me to see:__The conferences' coaches fail to honor the retiring Jim Brown, Ohio State's coach the past starting his 36th and final year with the Buckeyes, with some kind of special tribute at the Big Ten Championship--perhaps name the coach-of-the-year award in his honor.
