Big Ten leads too-early college football Top 25 rankings after spring practice
Below is our post-spring Top 25, once again heavily slanted toward the Big Ten and SEC. Rankings from January in parenthesis:
1. Ohio State (2024 record: 14-2) (1)
2. Penn State (13-3) (4)
8. Oregon (13-1) (11)
13. Illinois (10-3) (13)
15. Michigan (8-5) (18)
22. Nebraska (7-6) (22)
There’s still a talent gap between Nebraska and the best of the Big Ten, but this is a team and program ready for the next step. On offense, QB Dylan Raiola should put up big numbers under offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen. The defense has a new coordinator in John Butler and will have to rebuild up front. But the Cornhuskers have a terrific transfer class set to join the defense, including EDGE Dasan McCullough (Oklahoma), LB Marques Watson-Trent (Georgia Southern) and DL Williams Nwaneri (Missouri).
