Which Big Ten Powerhouses Are Poised to Crash the College Football Playoff Once More?
Player to watch: Edge rusher Mikail Kamara (13 adjusted sacks, 24.3% pressure rate) returns to again lead a pass rush that will heat up a lot of QBs.

- 2024 final TRACR rank: 8th
One scary thing: Linebackers were the best position on this team, but most of them are gone now. Inside backer Javin Wright wasn’t fully healthy last year and will be key to building continuity this year.
One exciting thing: Dylan Raiola had a difficult freshman season, but it’s worth pointing out what he did well. As a true freshman, he was right around the Big Ten average with an 80.1% well-thrown rate, 3.0% pickable pass rate (league average: 79.2% and 3.73%, respectively) and 5.9% sack per drop-back rate. With a better-looking supporting cast this year, it’s not hard to imagine a major sophomore leap from the five-star.
