The Big Ten took its lumps last year. Ohio State got pummeled in the BCS title game. Illinois was thumped in the Rose Bowl. Wisconsin blew a bowl game against Tennessee.

One thing that can be said is that many of the league’s teams were young a year ago. Ohio State, Wisconsin, Penn State, Northwestern, and Minnesota each return 15 or more starters, with OSU topping the chart with 19 (!). That means there aren’t many star players missing from the 2007 season.

As you could imagine, such a fact makes it somewhat difficult to draw up a list of biggest shoes to fill across the Big Ten. But we’re here to take on such challenges head-on here at FanHouse, so jump with me and look at our top five.
