steelcitygator	23	Should Northwestern be higher than some of the other Big 10 teams just above them based off 2020 accomplishments? Yes.  But this programs path has been good season crunched by a pretty bad season and an average season so until they can prove they can be a top team in the B10 West multiple years in a row they will get dinged.
Xtremeloco	23	This is my end of season poll last year. They earned these spots last year and get them to start the season this year.

coogs35	24	We’ll see if they can replicate their 2020 success. Fitzgerald is very underrated

woakley	24	Northwestern lost most of their starters from last year, and they aren't a strong recruiting team traditionally, but i'm done counting this Northwestern team out. This was the number 10 team at the end of the year, and they've finished 4 of the last 6 seasons ranked. This is a legit team and Pat Fitzgerald has shown time and time again that he can get the most out of the recruits he gets.
