How many Big Ten college football playoff contenders are there? Defining the Big Ten's second tier

from The Bill and Doug Show: Ohio State Football Talk · host Blue Wire

Conference depth was a point that Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti tackled at Big Ten Media Days last week. On this episode of The Bill and Doug Show, the goal is to define that depth. Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com joins Bill Landis and Doug Lesmerises to assign which teams belong in the second tier of the conference as schools that could make the College Football Playoff but aren't necessarily expected to. Let's agree that Indiana, Ohio State and Oregon are Tier 1. Who's next? Doug, Bill and Adam run through all the options and discuss the big matchups that will help determine how the league is viewed this year. Thanks for joining The Bill and Doug Show.
