The Big Ten landscape underwent drastic changes this offseason.

No longer will a regional Big Ten West division allow programs such as Wisconsin and Iowa to skate by and win close to 10 games per season. With powerhouse programs Oregon and USC joining the conference alongside relevant programs UCLA and Washington, every old Big Ten member institution must step up its games to compete.

What will that exact competition and pecking order look like? Who knows, that’s what makes the 2024 season so captivating.
