Are Big Ten's best a year away from title?

ESPN Insider recently completed its rundown of "20 teams that can win it all" during the 2012 season. Defending Big Ten champion Wisconsin made the list, as did Ohio State, even though the Buckeyes are banned from postseason play this season. Who didn't make the list? Michigan, Michigan State and Nebraska. Some would say these are three of the Big Ten's best four or five squads. Michigan and Michigan State likely will enter the season as the Big Ten's highest-rated teams, and I've written repeatedly that the Wolverines and Spartans, along with the Cornhuskers, play in what looks like the stronger division (Legends).
