The Big Ten isn't heading into the 2025 season as the dominant college football conference, especially as many teams are reloading, like Ohio State, or getting a new starting quarterback ready to lead the offense.
On "Josh Pate's College Football Show," Pate predicted four teams to finish 10-2 or 11-1. He said that Penn State and Oregon will be the top two teams in the conference at 11-1 and Ohio State and Nebraska will trail just behind them at 10-2.
The Nittany Lions and Ducks leading the Big Ten isn't farfetched, but the Buckeyes making the Big Ten Championship Game isn't out of the picture either.
