There have been many differences between the Pac-12 and the Big Ten, some good and some bad. The travel? Worse. The competency of the conference as a whole? Better.

One of those changes is that the Big Ten does not issue an official preseason media poll. So it’s funny that the UW Dawg Pound is submitting a media poll ballot for the first time then and that I got to do it only after I formally retired from my managing editor role.
