Pro Football Focus ranked every OL in CFB for 2019, 6 of Top 16 came from B1G
Pro Football Focus does an excellent job at grading players and providing next-level analysis. Facts are facts and PFF gives exactly that.
On Monday, it announced its rankings of all 130 offensive lines in the FBS and there were six lines from the Big Ten that made up the top 16:
- Oregon
- Georgia
- Alabama
- Ohio State
- Kentucky
- Iowa
- Clemson
- Wisconsin
- Louisiana
- Washington
- Illinois
- BYU
- Notre Dame
- Penn State
- Oregon State
- Michigan
Again, nearly half of the top 16 consists of Big Ten teams. There’s a pretty common thread among these teams, too. They were all quality programs this season and some, of course, were elite.

The game of football has been and always will be won at the line of scrimmage. You don’t need the best offensive and defensive lines in the country to win, but being able to win up front gives you an excellent chance to win over the course of a 60-minute game.
