Fans of college football fanbases love to debate, especially when it comes to naming their favorite program (insert position) U.
Ohio State often gets inserted deeply into the debate because of all the talent it sends to the NFL, but so do many other programs. And when it comes to the Big Ten, the Buckeyes aren’t the only program that excels at individual positions.
ESPN ran a piece examining and researching which schools produced the best talent at each position, and as you would expect, Ohio State was well represented. But how do the Buckeyes line up with their Big Ten brethren? If we were to name a Big Ten school as the best at developing talent at each position group, which schools would come out on top for quarterbacks, running backs, defensive backs, etc.? I mean, you get the idea.
We decided to name a school as position U for each of the spots on the football field based on the research and numbers ESPN published to declare supremacy in the Big Ten.
Off we go. Get in the act and tell us where you might disagree with ESPN’s assessment.
