While the Big Ten doesn’t get the prestige of the SEC, there is no conference aside from that which is tougher from top to bottom. And in 2021, the parity in football will come closer to what we saw this past season in basketball.

Barely any of the teams in the conference will be an easy out, but some will be worse than others. There are a lot of young teams and some newer coaches, which could hamper some’s ability to truly excel. While Ohio State is the king of the mountain, even the Buckeyes have some tough sledding with significant personnel changes.

Meanwhile, Michigan is working to get back on the right side of things after a terrible 2020 campaign. We think the Wolverines will rebound to some degree, but that doesn’t mean that the maize and blue will rise to the top of the division.

With that in mind, here is what we’re predicting for every Big Ten team in 2021.
