Today marks the start of B1G Media Day and unlike most conferences, there is no preseason poll. Instead, we’ll pick up the slack and put together our own preseason rankings.
- Ohio State - No doubt here. The Buckeyes return their starting QB, JT Barrett, and are always loaded with masses of young players to fill the spots of their NFL-bound players. On defense, they have Raekwon MacMillan, who I think is the best defensive player in the conference. The Buckeyes are certainly my pick to win the whole conference.
- Michigan State - Although the Spartans have lost Jack Conklin and Connor Cook, they have lots of great players and still have Mark D’Antonio on the sidelines.
