Summary
If you look at the gambling odds, Ohio State is the slight favorite to win the Big Ten championship in 2023. However, Stuart Mandel from The Athletic has picked Michigan to win the Big Ten title in '23. The Wolverines are coming off two straight conference championships and return a lot of starters -- and they get the Buckeyes in Ann Arbor -- so it's far from an outlandish prediction from Mandel.
What do we think here at Bucknuts? Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that and much more.
That is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.
