No. 1 – Ohio State
What Lindy’s says
“It’s good to be king. And, make no mistake about it: Ohio State is king of the Big Ten. Wait. Ohio Stae is more than that in 2020. The Buckeyes will emerge as masters of college football. This is their time. Coming off a 13-1 season, a third consecutive league championship, and a College Football Playoff appearance, they’re ready to rise back to the top. It was an impressive debut for precocious Ryan Day, who is poised to overcome an exodus of NFL talent — so long Chase Young, Jeff Okudah, Damon Arnette and seven others — but boffo talent remains.”
“We think Day’s second will become just more Scarlet and Gray lore: Urban Myer, Jim Tressel and (yes) Paul Brown won the national championship in their second season in the Horseshoe. It took a man named Woody until his fourth year to earn his first title, but he then made up for lost time.”
