Oregon’s Dante Moore and Ohio State’s returning stars lead a race for a fourth straight Big Ten title as preseason expectations rise.

  • The Big Ten seeks a fourth consecutive national championship this season, aiming to match the Southeastern Conference's 2019-22 streak, with Oregon emerging as a top contender featuring star quarterback Dante Moore.
