Let’s stop for a second and imagine a scenario where the Ohio State Buckeyes don’t roll all over the Big Ten conference and perhaps don't even make it to the title game.
OK, let’s be real, this is unlikely but let's pretend anyway. Why even imagine this? In the year of the Super Senior (seniors returning for another year due to the pandemic), every team in the Big Ten is returning 17 players on average — with the exception of Northwestern returning just eight starters and Ohio State returning just 11.
Justin Fields' successor could surprise and fill the role just fine, but with almost the entire conference returning more players and retaining both quarterbacks and offensive linemen, I want to think if not Ohio State, then who?
