Big Ten: Additional end of the year awards
The Big Ten wrapped yet another season, and in addition to the all-conference teams and most outstanding offensive and defensive players, we offer a few other selections from the year that was.
Week 13: Indiana at Purdue
An in-state battle lacking the umph of Michigan-Michigan State or even Northwestern-Illinois, the Boilermakers and Hoosiers have much at stake in their regular season finale clash.
Big Ten: Penn State is league's best BCS hope
Much is being made about Penn State’s possible collapse in a conference it has controlled for the past few months. But regardless of how things play out, no one can deny which team has proven the most dominant in the country’s most unstable conference.
Week 12: Indiana at Penn State
Despite its loss to Iowa, Penn State’s dream season doesn’t have to be over. The Nittany Lions can still win out and reach the Rose Bowl, but that starts this weekend with Indiana.
Big Ten: MAC giving league a black eye
Aren’t MAC teams supposed to serve as padding for the paths Big Ten schools march on their way to the bowl season? When exactly did the MAC turn the tables? Western Michigan became the latest MAC school to knock off a Big Ten foe this season.
Week 11: Wisconsin at Indiana
Perhaps the least exciting conference game of the week will take place in Bloomington, where Wisconsin is trying to prove it does not belong in the Big Ten basement, while Indiana is trying to show its win two weeks ago over Northwestern was not a fluke.
Big Ten: Michigan assured of losing season
After reaching a 2-2 mark, the 2008 Wolverines have now dropped five straight; by losing in the final seconds to Purdue, Michigan assured its fans there would be no bowl game to celebrate this holiday season, and that this Wolverine squad could do no better than a 5-7 record.
Week 10: Central Michigan at Indiana
A quick look at the records of both clubs might suggest a big day for the Chippewas. After all, Indiana has struggled, and Central Michigan is the toast of the MAC. But this is the same Central Michigan team that dropped a 32-25 road game at Purdue, so Indiana is by no means out-matched.
Big Ten: League's best team decided Saturday
Well, now we know who the Big Ten’s best team is. Boring as the contest may have been, a win is a win, and this particular win may have set the table for the last great feast of Joe Paterno’s epic career.
Under The Radar: Week 9
The Big 12, Big Ten and SEC all have marquee match-ups this weekend. But the battle for Pac-10 supremacy will also take place in Tuscan, Arizona. Mike Stoops and Co. are set to take on the USC Trojans late Saturday night.
Week 9: Northwestern at Indiana
The string has unraveled in Bloomington where the Hoosiers’ performance has declined with each passing week. Not the ideal time for 6-1 Northwestern to come calling.
Big Ten: Year of the freshmen
Terrelle Pryor wiggled his way into the starting role at Ohio State and hasn't looked back, but the switch in Columbus is not an isolated case in the conference this year — freshmen are filling holes all over the Midwest, and this week was no exception.
Under The Radar: Week 8
The Big 12 continues to be the conference to watch on Saturday's with marquee match-ups in Austin, Texas and Norman, Okla. However, there are a few other games to watch this weekend that aren't necessarily getting the national hype.
Week 8: Indiana at Illinois
For a number of years, not so long ago, this game decided who would reside in the Big Ten’s basement. Both programs have progressed since then, but each has struggled through 2008 and hopes to make a statement this Saturday.
Big Ten: Michigan still in a downward spiral
The Wolverines are still one of the country’s most visible programs, with unlimited resources, and yet their downward spiral continues; Saturday’s home loss to Toledo (Michigan’s first-ever loss to a MAC foe) might be the lowest point yet.
Week 7: Iowa at Indiana
Both of these schools enter Saturday’s contest riding three-game losing streaks. But both are now desperate to get back into the bowl hunt, and this game will help to decide which team has a legitimate shot at having a strong finish.
Big Ten: Teams unable to defend home field
In Big Ten basketball, holding the home court means everything. It used to mean a great deal in the fall, too, but as this weekend showed, playing on one’s home turf isn’t as much of an advantage as it probably should be.
Under The Radar: Week 6
The upsets continue as Pitt took down South Florida Thursday night. Are there any other teams that need to be on upset alert? Penn State travels to Purdue, Texas heads to Boulder and the 5-0 UConn Huskies are on Tobacco Road this weekend.
