With massive movements of players and coaches inside the Big 10, the annual offseason of news was made even more intriguing by the additions of Washington, Oregon, USC, and UCLA. Now with an extended playoff and new format to qualify for the conference’s championship game, there could be making even more headlines come November. One of the headlines will be who makes the biggest plays in the big moment. For the Big 10 conference, the schedule is littered with huge rivalry games and big-time matchups. Such an occasion calls for the best of the best to shine.
While many assemble their shortlists for their All-American lists, I’m going a bit further, concurring the conferences as well. Here are the players that I think are going to make a difference this year.
