Yes: Will Ohio State win the Big Ten football title in 2008?
Will Ohio State win the Big Ten football title in 2008?
Is it fair to make Ohio State the consensus favorite here?

Big Ten Champion: Ohio State
The Buckeyes will be on top of the Big Ten, just as they have been for the past three seasons.
An experienced quarterback, a Heisman-trophy candidate running back and the toughest defense in the conference, if not the nation, all adds up to another conference championship for Jim Tressel. But as solid of a gameday coach as Tressel is, it's his ability to recruit top athletes that really puts Ohio State head and shoulders above the rest of the Big Ten.
No matter what the reason, be it better travel and communication leading recruits to better climates, poor coaching hires, talent spreading to the smaller conferences, scholarship limitations, natural talent cycle or whatever else, the talent-level of the Big 10 just isn't where it used to be. One only has to look at the speed of defenses in the SEC to see the difference. But while other programs in the conference have fallen off a bit, Ohio State has stayed strong. True, the last two seasons did end in disappointing blowouts, but they were each in the BCS Championship Game and Tressel has managed to keep his team among the best in the nation, even while some of his competition has fallen off. It will continue this season.

Big Ten – Ohio State. October 4th at Wisconsin. The winner gets the Big Ten title, but also watch out for OSU's date at Michigan State.
