BTN.com's 2014 Big Ten football uniform poll

Everybody enjoys a good football uniform. Already home to some of the game's most iconic uniforms, the Big Ten will garner even more attention for its designs with Maryland and Rutgers' arrival. Who has the best uniforms? We asked five college football writers to help us form BTN.com's 2014 Big Ten uniform poll.

The voters: Steven Lassan, Andrew Lind, Stewart Mandel, Chris Vannini and Jim Weber, in addition to BTN.com's Tom Dienhart, Sean Merriman and Brent Yarina.

Voters ranked the Big Ten uniforms, from 1-14, considering each team's full ensemble (home, away, alternates, throwbacks, primary helmet and alternate helmets), with a first-place vote receiving one point, a second-place vote two points, and so on.
