The odds say that Michigan and Ohio State are the top dogs, while Nebraska will be fending off other capable teams in the Big Ten West. The east division winner, though, will be the favorite at the end of the day.
If Ohio State is able to pull through and win the Big Ten for a third straight season, the reason may be because of running back J.K. Dobbins. When asked about who the Big Ten East MVP would be this year, BTN analyst Howard Griffith pointed in Dobbins’ direction:
"He's gonna have an All-American season."

Griffith said that not only would Dobbins be the MVP of the division, but that he would have an All-American season. Does this mean that he believes Dobbins will beat out guys like Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor? If so, the Buckeyes will be incredibly hard to beat.
Ohio State begins its 2019 campaign at noon on Saturday, Aug. 31 at home against Florida Atlantic. The game will be televised on FOX.
