Bye-bye to bye weeks.
The Big Ten is now full-go, with no more teams having a week off to heal up, lick their wounds or enjoy their most recent success before coming back for more. Then again, with Ohio State playing at Northwestern the Buckeyes may feel like they don’t have a game on Saturday.
No. 1 Ohio State maintains its thin margin over Michigan, based on a gutsy win at Penn State. The Wolverines also remain undefeated but are dealing with the ugly tunnel incident/distraction involving Michigan State.
Illinois leads the West, but must still play Purdue, which has an easier finishing schedule.
