We find ourselves flipping the page from recruiting to football as Fall camp inches closer and closer.

Once again Oregon is going to be in a position to compete for a Big Ten championship. The Ducks have once again ‘reloaded’ its roster and we’ll see if Dan Lanning can lead them back to the championship game.

As we know, Penn State and Ohio State are also set to compete after reloading as well. All three programs are being picked to finish in the top three of the conference.

One thing to remember, the Big Ten does not conduct its own official media poll like other conferences. So the USA Today and Cleveland.com have both conducted their own media polls.

Oregon was picked to finish third in both polls and received two first place votes with Cleveland.com.
