Ivan Maisel:

1. Ohio State is the overwhelming favorite to win its fourth consecutive championship. The Buckeyes are loaded on both sides of the line. Yet all anyone wants to know is whether the name "Terrelle Pryor" will be recognized by anyone outside of Columbus in October.

2. Behind the Buckeyes, the race gets interesting. Wisconsin will challenge. After the Badgers, which team comes next?

3. Linebacker U could use a linebacker. That leaves sophomore Bani Gbadyu, who has made all of six tackles, as the man to watch.

Mark Schlabach:

1. What will Michigan look like under Rich Rodriguez?

2. Was Illinois' success in 2007 a fluke?

3. Can Ohio State return to a third straight BCS title game?
