The inaugural Big Ten title game featured the teams widely regarded as the league’s best. This season’s race could be less clear-cut.

The college football coaching carousel wasn't just busy among head coaches, as the assistant ranks saw plenty of changes as well. Changing coordinators or hiring a key positional coach can have a big impact on any team.
