Big Ten bloggers Adam Rittenberg and Brian Bennett will occasionally give their takes on a burning question facing the league. We'll both have strong opinions, but not necessarily the same view. We'll let you decide which blogger is right. Schedul...

The Big Ten made big news Sunday by announcing its new division alignment for the 2014 season, as well as a move to nine league games beginning in 2016. We covered all the news here and here and here, but several components of the moves merit further...

Our fictitious Big Ten road trip has been put on hold as we take actual trips around the league to check out spring practice. We're both back home now, which means we can hit the road again, figuratively at least. For those just joining us, we're ...

We're winding our way through the 2013 Big Ten season, armed with an unlimited travel budget, no nagging editors (or wives) and the freedom to choose where we go to watch football each weekend. It barely resembles how things actually play out in our ...

We're nearing the halfway point of our journey through the Big Ten. In a perfect world, there would be no budgetary restrictions or editors (whoops, did we just type that?), and we could simply pick the games we'll attend each week during the season....

Recruiting is a whirlwind, but National Signing Day provides coaches a chance to take a deep breath and reflect on the grind and the top moments along the way. We asked several Big Ten coaches last week to share their favorite recruiting stories from...

We unveiled our All-Big Ten team earlier today, but there are many others who deserve recognition. That's why we have a second-team all-conference squad. A handful of these players easily could have easily appeared on the first team, as several of th...

Brian Bennett and Adam Rittenberg share some of their top takeaways from the Big Ten season, including the surges by Ohio State and Penn State despite sanctions, and a disastrous Week 2 performance by the league....

The Big Ten's bowl lineup is set, and not surprisingly, it looks daunting. A league that failed to put any teams in the top 15 of the final BCS standings faces three teams in the top 10 -- No. 6 Stanford, No. 7 Georgia and No. 10 South Carolina. The ...

Three lessons from a lopsided Big Ten championship game: 1. Wisconsin making the Rose Bowl fits the Big Ten's 2012 narrative: The first five-loss team ever to play in the Rose Bowl? It figures that team comes from the Big Ten after a season like t...
