Can Indiana really break up Oregon, Penn State and Ohio State? Sizing up 4-way Big Ten race

A look at the contenders in the Big Ten

The Big Ten race is shaping up to be a four-way battle between Indiana, Oregon, Penn State, and Ohio State. All four teams are ranked in the top 10 of the AP Poll, and they all have legitimate chances to win the conference title.

Indiana

Indiana is the defending Big Ten champion, and they return a lot of talent from that team. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is back for his senior season, and he is one of the best quarterbacks in the country. Running back Stephen Carr is also back, and he is one of the most explosive playmakers in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers have a lot of experience on both sides of the ball, and they are the team to beat in the Big Ten East.

Oregon

Oregon is a new member of the Big Ten, and they are one of the most talented teams in the country. Quarterback Anthony Brown is a transfer from Boston College, and he is one of the most experienced quarterbacks in the country. Running back Travis Dye is also a transfer, and he is one of the best running backs in the country. The Ducks have a lot of playmakers on offense, and they should be one of the most explosive teams in the country.

Penn State

Penn State is another team that is in the running for the Big Ten title. Quarterback Sean Clifford is back for his senior season, and he is one of the most experienced quarterbacks in the country. Running back Keyvone Lee is also back, and he is one of the most talented running backs in the country. The Nittany Lions have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball, and they should be one of the contenders in the Big Ten East.

Ohio State

Ohio State is always a contender in the Big Ten, and they are looking to bounce back from a disappointing season in 2021. Quarterback C.J. Stroud is one of the best quarterbacks in the country, and he is surrounded by a lot of talented playmakers on offense. The Buckeyes have a lot of experience on defense, and they should be one of the top teams in the country.

The race for the Big Ten title is going to be one of the most competitive in the country. All four teams have a legitimate chance to win the title, and it should be a lot of fun to watch.
