Big Ten fans have waited a long time for a week like this. The stretch run of the league season is here, and there are games that have implications for the conference championship and the national title race.
The Michigan State-Ohio State game is one everybody pegged as a must-watch before the season even began. Michigan's game against Penn State has a lot more meaning than many of us once anticipated. Iowa can move one step closer to an undefeated regular season against Purdue. And even the Wisconsin-Northwestern game, which has lost some luster because of Iowa's great season, features two top-25 teams.
