Willikes and Winovich in some order with a big drop to #3

Tiebreaker here too.  Not sure who is voting for the Iowa kid

I guess I'm the only vote for Willikes so far?

Epenesa is an interesting situation. In the B1G, he's T1 in sacks, 3rd in TFL, 3rd in forced fumbles (#1 among DL), plus a blocked punt. And he only played 40% of Iowa's defensive snaps. So an argument could be made he's the most disruptive player in the conference, on a per-snap basis.

Personally, he's my #4 DL choice, and it's because he only played 40% of the time. He's a one-trick pony at this point, and his inconsistency setting the edge in the run game keeps him from being an every down player.

Yeah, that's why traditional defensive stats are always a little, eh.  I think there's a reason the other coaches in the Big Ten didn't even vote him first team, let alone #1 overall.
