With fall camp mere weeks away, the Big Ten will hold its annual media days later this week, which, along with the Pac-12's hosting in Los Angeles, will bring a wrap to such events for the Power Five conferences in college football.
But for the first time in a long time, the Big Ten can claim that the sport is merely saving its best for last, as the league is the home of the reigning College Football Playoff champion, Ohio State.
But it won't just be the Buckeyes creating headlines in Chicago this upcoming Thursday and Friday, with Jim Harbaugh's Big Ten media days debut sure to make waves across the college football news cycle.
