EAST DIVISION
1. Michigan State (10-1, 6-1)
Michigan State is the definition of a team that plays to its competition, judging by one-possession victories over Purdue and Rutgers and road victories over Ohio State and Michigan. The Spartans can’t use the chip-on-shoulder motivator this week, though. Expect a tussle with Penn State.
This week: Penn State, Sat., 2:30 p.m. (ESPN)
2. Michigan (9-2, 6-1)
What impressed Jim Harbaugh the most the first time he saw Michigan and Ohio State play? “How those two uniforms looked on the field at the same time,” he said.
