Given Paul Chryst and James Franklin shared the 2016 B1G COY counts as two years in one (without a Ferentz B1G COY) and the Ferentz Family Hawkeyes notched a once-in-a-decade victory over OSU (with historic style points), Kirk Ferentz will win his 5th B1G COY, in 2017.
But who are the also-rans?
I see the B1G vote, as follows:
2. Dantonio of Zanesville
3. Pat Fitzgerald
4. Chryst
5. Franklin
16. Meyer
Who you got?

Bonus: Kirk Ferentz could be a live-action character on Archer.
