The hit HBO series Game of Thrones was an international phenomenon. In case you were living under a rock during the 2010s, the fantasy drama depicted several family houses battling to sit atop the Iron Throne and control Westeros.
The largest and most prominent houses (Stark, Lannister, Tyrell, Martell, Baratheon, Greyjoy, Arryn) each controlled one of the Seven Kingdoms (North, Westerlands, Reach, Dorne, Stormlands, Iron Islands, Vale) that comprise Westeros.
Now, imagine the Big Ten is Westeros. Those seven houses and kingdoms are represented by the seven most historically prominent teams in the conference: Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska.
