Today I learned that Illinois is technically still alive in the Big Ten West title race. I don't even care what it does to Ohio State's strength of schedule, I want the Illini in Indy.
Word of the Day: Piquancy.
BET THE MORTGAGE ON THE BUCKS. Ohio State is an 18-point favorite against a top-10 team this weekend. That's a bigger point spread than Ohio State saw against Cincinnati, Nebraska, Michigan State and Wisconsin.
And you know what? History tells us they're probably going to cover with ease.
