All the talk these days seems to be about super teams.

With Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors on the brink of a title in the NBA, I thought it’d be an appropriate time to evaluate what a B1G super team. But instead of just picking the best players in the conference, I pieced together the best position groups heading into 2016.

Here’s the B1G dream team in 2016:

Quarterbacks: Ohio State

You know you’re in good shape when everyone can’t stop talking about the battle for the backup spot. That’s the reality in Columbus, where Urban Meyer has himself a cradle of talented quarterbacks waiting behind all-time Ohio State touchdown leader J.T. Barrett. Joe Burrow looked plenty capable in the Buckeyes spring game, as did redshirt freshman Dwayne Haskins. Meyer obsesses about the quarterback position, but he shouldn’t lose any sleep over his signal-callers in 2017.

Honorable mention: Michigan, Penn State

Running backs: Penn State

Saquon Barkley is a one-man wrecking crew, but the Lions have plenty of help behind him. Miles Sanders, who the No. 1 running back in the 2016 class, got plenty of snaps as a true freshman. He showed flashes of his next-level skill set last year, and after putting on 20 pounds of muscle, he’ll carve out an even more significant role behind Barkley. With all the attention those two received, it was easy to forget that Andre Robinson scored six touchdowns as a freshman last year. The Lions’ ground game has depth and a Heisman candidate leading the way. That’s a dangerous combination.

Honorable mention: Maryland, Minnesota, Northwestern

Wide receivers: Indiana

Here’s an odd stat. Only one B1G team returns two different wideouts that recorded at least one season of 500-plus receiving yards the last two years. That’s Indiana. Nick Westbrook stepped up as IU’s big-play receiver when Simmie Cobbs was lost for the season in the Ball State game. We saw in the spring game how much Richard Lagow trusts Cobbs, despite their limited game action together. In addition to Cobbs and Westbrook, IU will also get J-Shun Harris II back after anterior cruciate ligament tears ended each of his last two seasons. The Hoosiers still are loaded with outside weapons, the only question is if they’ll be maximized without Kevin Wilson.

Honorable mention: Nebraska, Penn State

Offensive line: Iowa

You could go a lot of ways here, but the Hawkeyes got the nod for a few reasons. The winners of the 2016 Moore Award return the likes of Ike Boettger, James Daniels, Boone Myers, Keegan Render and Sean Welsh, all of whom started at least half of Iowa’s games last year. New offensive line coach Tim Polasek has experience and versatility unlike any other group in the B1G. This group blocked for two 1,000-yard rushers last year, one of which was the dynamic Akrum Wadley. They must improve in pass protection, especially with another group of unproven receivers. But Iowa’s 2017 line looks a lot like the 2015 group that plowed its way to a Rose Bowl berth.

Honorable mention: Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin

Tight ends: Wisconsin

I know, Penn State fans. Mike Gesicki might be the best pass-catching tight end in America, but Troy Fumagalli is certainly in that conversation, as well. Wisconsin got the nod here because of the way its tight ends block. Gesicki improved a lot as a blocker, but he still doesn’t match Fumagalli’s physicality. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think Fumagalli and Zander Neuville were offensive linemen.

Fumagalli is as versatile as they come at the tight end position. He also had the highest-rated bowl game of any player in America, according to Pro Football Focus. Alex Hornibrook is going to rely on Fumagalli to move the chains and make plays in the red zone.

Honorable mention: Michigan, Penn State

Defensive line: Ohio State

One could make a legitimate argument that Ohio State has four of the five best defensive linemen in the B1G. That’s how loaded the Buckeyes are up front. Led by 2016 B1G Defensive Lineman of the Year Tyquan Lewis, the Buckeyes have the deepest defensive line in the country. Jalyn Holmes, Sam Hubbard and Nick Bosa can blow up plays in the backfield as edge-rushers, and Dre’Mont Jones looks like he can become a force on the interior.

The Buckeyes also have guys like 2016 opening day starter Tracy Sprinkle, promising sophomore Jonathon Cooper and five-star true freshman Chase Young. Larry Johnson has no shortage of playmakers to work with. That’s why he developed a Rushmen package to get as many defensive linemen on the field as possible. That’s a scary thought for B1G offenses.

Honorable mention: Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin

Linebackers: Wisconsin

So cliché, right? Pencil in another year of Wisconsin’s linebackers tormenting B1G backfields. It was easy to assume that narrative was supposed to change when the Badgers lost Vince Biegel and T.J. Watt to the NFL. But that certainly isn’t the case. Jack Cichy and Chris Orr are both returning from injury-plagued 2016 seasons. Both of them could earn first-team All-B1G honors.

T.J. Edwards might actually be the most complete player of the bunch. Wisconsin also has guys like Garret Dooley and Ryan Connelly, both of whom stepped up and played pivotal roles after the Badgers suffered midseason injuries. On top of that, former four-star recruit Arrington Farrar switched from safety to linebacker. Until further notice, don’t expect the Badgers to lack skill or depth in the middle of the defense.

Honorable mention: Iowa, Ohio State, Penn State

Defensive backs: Wisconsin

To be fair, this goes to Penn State if John Reid wasn’t out for the season with a torn ACL. Once again, the Badgers have a talented defensive backfield. D’Cota Dixon is a bruising over-the-top safety who improved greatly in coverage in 2016. Derrick Tindal has all the tools not only to be the Badgers’ top corner, but to be one of the B1G’s top corners as well. The Badgers should also get secondary boosts from a healthy Natrell Jamerson and Hawaii transfer Nick Nelson. With Jim Leonhard now running the defense, expect the Wisconsin secondary to play at an even higher level in 2017.

Honorable mention: Nebraska, Northwestern, Penn State

Returners: Rutgers

Two words. Janarion. Grant.

Honorable mention: Nebraska, Ohio State

Kickers/punters: Minnesota

B1G Kicker of the Year Emmit Carpenter is back after a breakout sophomore season in which he made 22 of 24 field goals. Even more impressive, Carpenter made all 10 of his attempts from 40 yards or greater. No other kicker in the country with at least six attempts accomplished that feat. And on the punting side, former placekicker Ryan Santoso is coming off a season in which he averaged 41 yards per punt and put 29 punts inside the 20.

Don’t forget the Gopher specialists are also trick-shot masters.

Honorable mention: Nebraska, Penn State
