Breaking down our preseason Big Ten football poll, with results on Ohio State and Justin Fields: Buckeye Talk Daily Pod


COLUMBUS, Ohio — It’s time for the 10th annual Big Ten preseason poll from cleveland.com, where conference writers from around the league are gathered and asked to vote on predicted preseason standings, the league champ and the preseason offensive and defensive players of the year.
