Five lessons from the week that was in Big Ten football. 1. The Ineligibles overachieved under great coaches: We won't see Ohio State or Penn State until next fall, but both teams went out on positive notes to end seasons in which they overachieve...

After a historic week off the field, the Big Ten steps between the lines Friday and Saturday for the final time in this regular season. All 12 teams are in action, and several rivalry games are on tap, highlighted by The Game between Michigan and Ohi...

It took a while, but the Big Ten finally has some separation. You've got the top six teams clearly defined. Then you have the next three and finally the three I's -- Indiana, Iowa and Illinois -- at the bottom. The top three teams remain intact fr...

Honoring the best and the brightest from around the Big Ten in Week 12. Michigan QB Devin Gardner: On a day when Michigan honored record-setting QB Denard Robinson and its other seniors, Gardner showed why he's the future for the Wolverines offen...

There are no changes in the top 3 of the power rankings, but plenty of shuffling elsewhere. Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State remain atop the rankings, although the Buckeyes are no longer head and shoulders above the rest of the league after a s...

It's that time again. Thankfully, there's only one nonleague game left to predict (Indiana-Navy) and it's not this week. Five games on tap, all in the Big Ten, and several that could play a huge role in which teams end up in Indianapolis. The game...

It's prediction time again as we attempt to forecast Week 2 in the Big Ten. Although opening weekend had more big-ticket games, Week 2 features more potential toss-ups around the league. Seven Big Ten teams hit the road Saturday, including three s...

One week of Big Ten action is in the books, and we finally have some on-field evidence to judge these teams. Michigan State remains the class of the league after a hard-fought win against Boise State that shouldn't have been as close as the final ...

Five lessons from the opening week around the Big Ten: 1. Michigan is not at the elite level: Let's make something clear. Saying that the Wolverines -- or the Big Ten, for that matter -- can't hang with the SEC because Alabama clubbed Michigan is ...

It's prediction time! The 2012 season kicks off Thursday night -- in Big Ten country, it means Minnesota-UNLV in Vegas -- and your fearless forecasters are ready for another season of brilliance (or buffoonery). Brian Bennett looked nothing like a...
