The Big Ten's three consecutive national champions have several things in common: elite defenses, manageable regular-season schedules before the CFP and disciplined football."
Oregon, Indiana, and Ohio State all each have top rosters in college football. Indiana lost many players to the draft, but with Curt Cignetti at the helm, it will be a rinse and repeat type of cycle. The Ducks are as dangerous as they have ever been, and with the return of Dante Moore, they have the best quarterback in the country. With how good the Big Ten looks for another straight season, it is also a reasonable guess that the final two teams standing could reside in the Big Ten.
