Big Ten football uniform power ranking entering 2025 season

While the class of 2026 recruiting cycle is producing plenty of headlines, there still aren’t any new 2025 football season updates to talk about.

We’ve already unveiled our Big Ten power rankings for the upcoming campaign, as well as a hierarchy of the conference’s starting quarterbacks. The leading teams and signal-callers shouldn’t come as much of a surprise — reigning national champion Ohio State again projects as the conference’s best, with Penn State and Heisman Trophy candidate Drew Allar not far behind. Michigan, Oregon and breakthrough candidate Illinois all sit in the next tier, needing several things to fall their way for them to contend for the Big Ten title.

The conference will look to bolster its argument as college football’s best in 2025. While the SEC still holds the crown, the Big Ten’s stellar postseason record and head-to-head success over its southern rival last season have narrowed the gap. 2025 will either see progress continue or the SEC return to dominance.

That is all an on-field look at the upcoming season. Until training camps begin and we learn more about each team, off-the-field topics may have to lead the discussion.

We began that initiative by ranking the Big Ten’s 18 helmets from worst to first this week. Now, we’re applying the same lens to the conference’s 18 uniforms.

18. Rutgers Scarlet Knights

Helmet ranking: No. 18

Neither Rutgers’ helmet nor uniform jumps off the page. The conference doesn’t have any outright ‘bad’ uniform combos — this slot isn’t that. Instead, it portrays a nondescript red and white combo that can be found at multiple programs across the country.

17. Indiana Hoosiers

Helmet ranking: No. 10

Indiana has a strong helmet, relative to the rest of its uniform. The shade of red at least differs from others in the conference. Otherwise, Indiana’s uniforms aren’t memorable….
