After the national championship game ended Monday night, we unveiled our way-too-early Big Ten power rankings for 2016.
Ohio State checked in at No. 1, but it was not a unanimous decision. The Buckeyes lose a boatload of talent, including nine underclassmen starters who declared for the draft. Don't forget that Michigan State is the defending league champion. Michigan is lurking. And, of course, Iowa is coming off a 12-0 regular season and brings many key pieces back.
So today's roundtable asks a simple question: Who should be the favorite for 2016?
Brian Bennett: Michigan
I don't want to doubt Urban Meyer or disrespect Michigan State (though the Spartans probably would like that).
