You kind of knew it was going to happen, but Ohio State led all Big Ten programs with a total of eight players selected to BTN’s All-Decade Team. This was after the Buckeyes led all programs with six players selected to the All-Decade basketball Team as well. Yes, Ohio State is your king of the decade when it comes to the revenue sports in the Big Ten.
We’ve recapped the selections already individually, but here is a recap of all eight Ohio State players that were selected. Keep in mind this doesn’t even include the Second-Team selections that also had a slew of OSU players appearing.
Quarterback
J.T. Barrett
Offensive Line
Billy Price
Wyatt Davis
Defensive Line
Chase Young
Joey Bosa
Defensive Back
Malik Hooker
All-Purpose
Braxton Miller
Coach
Urban Meyer
Some definite who's who of 2010s B1G đ.

All of these are well-deserving, and you could sure make a case for others that appeared on the Second Team for OSU to have been elevated to the First Team, but maybe there would be a little anarchy from the other programs if guys like Jeff Okudah and Ezekiel Elliott found their way here too (but more on that later).
All told, it was a good showing by Ohio State, as you’d expect. Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin all came in with four players on the team which is a distant second place.
