Wins – Rutgers, Iowa, Michigan State, Purdue, Nebraska, Indiana, Maryland, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota
Loss – Penn State
Ohio State is loaded. They come into the season as easily the best team in the Big Ten. They will be the favorite in all of their games this year and could easily go undefeated. But winning every game is hard for any team, so we think the best chance they have to lose is to Penn State.
The Buckeyes return Justin Fields who outside of Trevor Lawrence at Clemson may be the best quarterback in the country. Fields put up ridiculous numbers last year and there is no reason to think that will be any different this year. They do lose a ton of talent on defense but they are recruiting so well they just reload instead of rebuild. If The Buckeyes don’t win the Big Ten it would be a shock.
The only way the Buckeyes aren’t easily the conference favorite is if Fields opts-out of the season. Fans of every other school probably hope he does, but truthfully we hope most everyone plays this year. The Buckeyes could easily win every game this year and that would not shock us. The only reason we didn’t pick them is that it is so hard to go undefeated.
The Big Ten should be fun to watch this year as long as we have a season. They have built-in buffer weeks to combat anything going wrong and hopefully, we can get the season in. Buckle up, it should be fun.
