College football is changing dramatically in 2024 with conference realignment and the Big Ten is one of many conferences expanding greatly this upcoming season.
The Big Ten is adding Oregon, UCLA, Washington, and USC to its ranks as it looks to win conference supremacy. Those teams join a collective that boasts reigning national champion Michigan football, an Ohio State team that’s gone all-in to win a national championship in 2024, and a Penn State team that is trying to go from great to elite. And many teams are on the up and coming with Iowa, Wisconsin, and Northwestern both looking to build on 2023, while Indiana and MSU bring in new coaches hoping to find their footing.
Though the games are far away and teams could see big changes before now and fall, here are our too-early predictions for how each team will fare in 2024.
