Here’s the challenge. Take the complete, current rosters of all the NFL teams and draft a starting team using just Big Ten players. We did the same thing with Ohio State players only, and suffice to say, it would still be one whale of a team. But what would it look like if you had Penn State, Iowa, Wisconsin, and yes — even Michigan to choose from?
If you’re wondering what that would look like, ESPN did the work for you and came out with a team that looks awfully dominant. One of the reasons it would be a juggernaut is because over one-third of the starting 22 hail from Ohio State, with eight total. That’s right, Penn State, Michigan and others like to rant and rave about Buckeye bias, but the Big Ten wouldn’t be quite the conference it is without football being played on the banks of the Olentangy. So what players made the cut from the Buckeyes?
Here’s the entire team, with Ohio State players marked with an asterisk.
