We are just about ready to enter into the month of July, and that means we’re just a couple of months away from some real, live American college football hitting the broadcast airwaves for your viewing pleasure.
Being that you’re here on our site, you are probably interested in Ohio State and the Big Ten in general. As the season approaches and we know about rosters and some of the pieces that have to fall into place across the league, we feel like we have a pretty good grasp on where Big Ten teams fall in the pecking order for 2022.
Sure, there will be some surprises — there always are. And sure, we could be way off on what we believe will happen (we often are). Still, we thought we’d go through the schedule of each Big Ten team and predict what each team’s finishing overall and conference record will be.
Will Ohio State reclaim the crown? Can Michigan defend its title? Will Penn State be in the mix with the two rivals in the East? Will Nebraska finally turn the corner, and will Iowa and Wisconsin be the teams to beat in the West?
Here’s how we see things shaking out in the Big Ten, including the final standings after all the regular season games are complete.
