This week we see a pair of teams in the conference on bye. Michigan State has the week off in addition to Nebraska. The Big Ten East will see a contender to Ohio State fall by the wayside with the Penn State-Michigan loser. Indiana can take a major step towards bowl eligibility while we can ask if Rutgers can actually score once again. It all begins tonight in Evanston.
