Coming into the final weeks before opening kickoff of Big Ten play, the anticipation continues to grow.
Which teams will dominate and make their mark during the final year with 11 teams?
What team will surprise everyone to move up to the top of the conference standings?
And which teams will shock the masses and pull of the big upsets that mess up fans travel arrangements for bowl games?
All the anticipation and talk will be over and it will finally be time to let the pigskin fly.
And fly it will as their are extremely talented quarterbacks in the conference this season, as well as players on the receiving end that can get it done, and than some. The crop of receivers that you will see in the Big Ten Conference this season is as good as its been in some time. The play-making and touchdown scoring will most definitely be plentiful as each team has players that can slash and cut down the field towards pay dirt.
I have ranked these wide receivers based on the players that are going to be the No. 1 primary receiver. The ones who will demand most of the focus for the opposition’s corners when they square off.
Obviously some teams have two or in some cases five or six dynamic young receivers that can get it done. That is something that any team would want, but for the sake of these rankings I went with the first guy for each team.
Overall, they will be catching bombs all Fall so keep an eye out for these players.
