Around the Big Ten, Week Seven: Business up top, party down below

The Big Ten football season has officially marked its halfway point. Every team in the conference has played at least six games total and at least three conference matchups, meaning that the standings are starting to take shape. The division battles already may have games that decide them. For the Big Ten East, it’s when Michigan visits Ohio State on Nov. 26 for what will most likely be not only a shot in the Big Ten title game but also the college football playoff. If things stay how they are in the Big Ten West, the game deciding that division title might just be Purdue-Illinois on Nov.
