As we prepare to embark on a handful of spring football trips, we're looking ahead to where we might go -- or would love to go -- when the season rolls around. This is a look at which Big Ten game we'd attend each week if it were up to us (which it i...

The Ohio State Buckeyes have been atop the Big Ten power rankings most of the season. They'll stay there for a very long time. Ohio State's win against Michigan secured a 12-0 season, just the sixth undefeated, untied campaign in team history. Whi...

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's the home stretch of Big Ten play, and Adam Rittenberg already has the champagne on ice. Rittenberg holds a commanding five-game lead against Brian Bennett, who seems likely to suffer the same fate as his beloved St. Louis Cardinals this fall. ...

What time is it? Prediction time, whoop. Three weeks remain in the regular season, and Brian Bennett needs them to be very good ones. He trails Adam Rittenberg by four games in the season standings. If Bennett can't mount a late surge, Rittenberg ...

Some weeks are better than others, and Week 9 in the Big Ten is a very good one. All six games pair fairly evenly matched teams, and there's something at stake in all six contests (yes, even Indiana-Illinois). These might be our most challenging p...

The power rankings nearly underwent an extreme makeover in Week 8, as top dogs Ohio State and Michigan had to rally for home wins against heavy underdogs. Nebraska recorded a potential season-saving win against Northwestern, and Penn State made the b...

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...
