So use the letter 'I' instead of the number "1. Beyond the literacy factor, what's troubling is that the league has decreed something and the people are following it like lemmings. By the end of the season, will you have embraced the "Leaders" and "Legends" division names for football? If you do, then you've let them win. And once you let them win, you can't imagine the horrors they'll try to foist upon you next. That also goes for "B1G.

In the early days of the Big Ten, the Chicago - Michigan game was played on Thanksgiving, usually with conference championship implications and was considered one of the first major rivalries of the conference.

Also in the early days of the conference, and at Knute Rockne 's insistence, Northwestern and Notre Dame had a yearly contest, with the winner taking home a shillelagh, much like the winner of the USC -Notre Dame and Purdue-Notre Dame contests now receive. The Northwestern-Notre Dame shillelagh was largely forgotten by the early s and is now solely an element of college football's storied past.

The three stadiums are three of the four largest football stadiums in the United States , as well as the third, fourth, and seventh largest sports stadiums in the world.

I did not create this nickname; I saw it on twitter via Dan Hope of Eleven Warriors, but tell me a more fitting nickname for this team? After upsetting No. This season, the Boilermakers are , with two wins over top-five opponents and with a chance to make it three next week when they play the Buckeyes. Lucky for Ohio State, Purdue should be ranked next week, and so hopefully the magic wears off.

This is a special season for the Boilermakers. What is so special about Purdue? Somehow they always seem to have a special game-changing wide receiver. Most recently it was Rondale Moore, who almost singlehandedly led to Purdue upsetting Ohio State in On Saturday, Bell had himself a day with 11 catches for yards and one touchdown.

Somehow, this is only his second-best performance of the season, as he had 11 catches for yards and one touchdown against Iowa. Bell now has over 1, yards on 64 catches and five touchdowns this season with three games left, and is a legit contender to win Big Ten wide receiver of the year and become an all-American. Trick plays are the life blood of underdog teams looking to upset an opponent.

Well, Purdue ran one of the greatest tricks plays I have ever seen in their upset of Michigan State. We feel confident saying it: This is the wildest B1G play you'll see today. Michigan State had the misfortune of playing Purdue after the biggest game of their season while holding a top-five spot in the College Football Playoff rankings.

Their season was always going to come down to beating Ohio State to win the Big Ten East, winning the championship game and walking into the playoffs. A one-loss Big Ten champ is not missing the playoffs. So, the question is simple — how do Mel Tucker and his Spartans bounce back from this loss? Will they recover and continue their special season, or will they fold and lose all their momentum? Who knows if Michigan State was ever going to beat Ohio State, but an Big Ten East champ or runner up is a lot better than or After a tough start to their season, Wisconsin is now and in a four-way tie for first place in the Big Ten West.

After a blowout win over Rutgers, Wisconsin has started to right the ship and is in full control of their destiny. Wisconsin, while in a four-way tie, has tie breakers over Iowa and Purdue. The way this season started, most of us left Wisconsin for dead. They still have a lot of issues that need to be fixed, and there is still some concern for the future, but a Big Ten West championship season is on the table.

That is still a good campaign as far as I am concerned.
