Spring practice is already underway or will soon start for all 18 teams in the Big Ten for the 2025 college football season. Although it's tough to get an accurate read on teams from practices in the spring, this is the first set of official workouts and provides some insight into rosters, coaching outlooks, transfers or impact freshmen for the upcoming year.

Reigning national champion Ohio State leads the way in the pre-spring power rankings in the Big Ten for the 2025 season, but Penn State and Oregon aren't too far behind. Additionally, the next tier of teams in the conference features playoff contenders in Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana. Nebraska, USC, and Washington are sleeper teams to watch this fall.

What are the early storylines to watch and how do the teams stack up in the Big Ten going into '25? Here are Athlon's top things to watch and the storylines in the conference going into spring practice:

The western states obviously are much larger because territories wanted to be states and needed a certain population, give or take.  I guess Iowa is the smallest state W of the Miss.  Other than Hawaii.

I have no clue how this is calculated, I'd probably have Ohio State at #1.  I dimly recall they don't report some figures.  I'm surprised that OU would that high, I'd have Texas and Michigan and Alabama and probably A&M aheead of UGA.  Clemson seems low, to me.  Is that Utah at 9?  Huh.
