Spring practices for many teams start next week, and we’ll get our first looks at a number of the nation’s top squads.

ESPN recently released its first FPI rankings of the year, and it looks like it could be a great year for the Big Ten. Impressively, six Big Ten squads are in the top 25, with five cracking the top 12:

  • No. 4 — Ohio State
  • No. 8 — Penn State
  • No. 10 — Michigan State
  • No. 11 — Michigan
  • No. 12 — Wisconsin
  • No. 25 — Iowa
  • No. 32 — Northwestern
  • No. 48 — Purdue
  • No. 50 — Nebraska
  • No. 59 — Minnesota
  • No. 60 — Maryland
  • No. 66 — Indiana
  • No. 68 — Rutgers
  • No. 70 — Illinois

These are still early rankings, of course, but it looks like the B1G could be the strongest conference in the country this fall.
