7. Pitt Panthers: (Projection: 8-4)
There were only so many answers Pitt could find this spring. The big questions still loom. Can this secondary take a big step forward? Can the defensive front replace Ejuan Price? Is Max Browne the answer at QB? Can the offense thrive without James Conner? Let’s call Pitt a wild card. There’s enough talent on the roster for the Panthers to make a run at the division, but there are plenty of question marks, too.

Post-spring Big 12 Power Rankings:
1. Oklahoma Sooners (previous ranking: 1): T
2. Oklahoma State Cowboys (2): The Pokes solidified the two biggest questions mark on their depth chart by adding Cal OT grad transfer Aaron Cochran and Clemson CB grad transfer Adrian Baker. Both players should come in and start right away. That will give Oklahoma State a proven tackle protecting QB Mason Rudolph's blindside. And defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer has an experienced corner in Adrian Baker, which should allow him to feel more comfortable about leaving converted corner Ramon Richards at safety.
3. Kansas State Wildcats (3):
4. West Virginia Mountaineers (4): (Projection 10-3)
At least in the spring game, QB Will Grier was everything the Mountaineers could've hoped for. Displaying a cannon for an arm and a terrific feel in the pocket, Grier completed 12 of 18 passes for 202 yards. The offensive line and defense still need to be retooled. But Grier, provided he's ruled eligible to start the season, could give the Mountaineers a chance to contend in the conference once again.

Big Ten post-spring power rankings:
1. Ohio State:
2. Penn State: (Projection 11-1)
The defending conference champs still boast the best backfield in the league with quarterback Trace McSorley and running back Saquon Barkley. The Nittany Lions should have one of the most entertaining offenses in the country. The defensive depth and size is still building in James Franklin’s fourth season in Happy Valley, so his team may need to win some shootouts to hang with their toughest competition.
