With College Football season approaching and Big Ten Media Days later this week, predictions will start flying about how teams will fare this year.

The Big Ten Network polled conference beat writers to find out who they felt was the sleeper team in the West this season. The West is generally seen as wide open with perhaps Wisconsin being the default pick for now so the sleeper could very well end up playing in Indianapolis.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers received the most votes and writers had very positive things to say about them.
