Earlier this month, the Oregon Ducks announced the date for the annual spring scrimmage, which will take place on April 26 at 1 p.m. in Autzen Stadium. While this information is important for Duck fans and their spring vacation plans, it’s also important for the college football calendar.
It’s a turning of the page. We are no longer in the offseason, floating about while focusing on the additions of incoming recruits via the transfer portal. Now, we’re in spring preview season, and the next several weeks will be spent ramping up toward the start of the Ducks’ spring practices in March.
To start preview season, we want to examine the Big Ten Conference as a whole. With the Ohio State Buckeyes winning the national championship in 2024 and four Big Ten teams making the College Football Playoff, it was quite a year for the conference. That shouldn’t change going into the 2025 season. Three of the top six teams in ESPN’s ‘Way-Too-Early’ top 25.
After diving into individual skill positions on offense, we’re now looking at offense on the whole. Historically, Big Ten offense has been all about running the ball behind massive, corn-fed O-linemen, but in the modern game, especially after 2024’s introduction of four West Coast schools to the conference, the Big Ten doesn’t fit that prototype anymore.
There will be many strong offenses in next year’s Big Ten but just a handful of elite. Here is where I see each offense shaking out next fall. I’m sure I’ll be very wrong.
Check out our quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end rankings, here.
