The first coaches poll of the 2014-15 men's basketball season is out, and the Big Ten is apparently loaded, with six teams appearing in the Top 25.
Ohio State checks-in at No. 20, just behind of rival Michigan State (No. 18) but ahead ever-rising Nebraska (No. 21) and Michigan (No. 23). Entering the season, Wisconsin is seen as the runaway top dog in Big Ten.
