As teams gear up for the 2022 college football season, Athlon Sports released their predictions for how the All-Big Ten teams will look come the end of the year.
Michigan led the way with 17 All-Big Ten preseason selections, while Ohio State followed close behind with 16 players named to the different teams. Wisconsin came in on the next tier of teams, as the Badgers had seven players listed, and three players named to the All-Big Ten first team.
Michigan State and Iowa joined Ohio State and Michigan in double-digits, as the Spartans and Hawkeyes each had 11 players named to the Athlon Sports preseason squads.
