From Capitol One Bowl losses to embarrassing defeats in national title matchups over the course of the last decade, the Big Ten football conference has lost a ton of national respect. The Big Ten is one of the most storied conferences in college football with some of the most storied programs. But things haven’t looked that way in quite some time. Things will change, starting as early as this coming season.
Ohio State has already garnered a bit of respect for the conference by winning the first ever college football playoff national championship, and by becoming the first school in college football history to win three bowl games in just two seasons.
