While the spring football season recently came to a close at the college level, an optimist will tell you that this just means the regular season is inching closer. With the start of May, spring practice sessions and transfer portal movement are mostly complete. The summer recruiting rush is just around the corner, which directly precedes fall training camp.
It should be another thrilling year in the Big Ten. While the Oregon Ducks won the conference in their first year as members in 2024, it was the Ohio State Buckeyes who were left standing in the end, beating the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the national championship game. Going into the new season, the Penn State Nittany Lions are projected to be among the best in the conference with all of their returning stars, while both Oregon and Ohio State are not far behind them. Then you also have the likes of Michigan, USC, Illinois, and Iowa flirting for contention.
While those teams have much of the attention at the top, there are also some intriguing storylines throughout the conference. Will UCLA be able to take a step forward with Nico Iamaleava Jr. at the helm? Can Wisconsin get things going at long last this year under Luke Fickell? Will anyone step up and be this year’s version of 2024 Indiana?
All of those questions will be answered in months. For now, after spring practice and the recent transfer portal window, it’s time for updated win-loss projections for every team.
Projected Record: 2-10 (0-9 Big Ten)
