For what it’s worth, here is how I see the Big Ten teams. I took into account and ranked all 14 teams on the following items:
Coaching, Offense, Defense, Special Teams, (Returning) Experience, (Perceived) Schedule Convenience, Environment (Home Field Advantage), and Recruiting. Then I averaged out the scores of the subjective rankings and came out with the following rankings for 2018. These are obviously not what I HOPE for, but...
EAST
1. Ohio State
2. Michigan State
3. Michigan
4. Penn State
5. Maryland
6. Rutgers
7. Indiana
WEST
1. Wisconsin
2. Northwestern
3. Iowa
4. Nebraska
5. Purdue
6. Minnesota
7. Illinois
