Angelique S. Chengelis' Big Ten East breakdown

Angelique S. Chengelis of The Detroit News provides a 2020 season outlook on the Big Ten East Division. Teams are listed in predicted order of finish.

Ohio State

Last season: 13-1, 9-0.

Coach: Ryan Day, 16-1 overall and at Ohio State (3-0 as interim coach in 2018).

Outlook: The Buckeyes are the favorite to win the East largely because of quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Justin Fields, starting for the second straight season. He gives the Buckeyes’ offense the edge as they make a push toward the national playoffs.
