Penn State's last trip to Memorial Stadium ended in an overtime loss that kicked off the 0-5 start in 2020. That game also sparked the Hoosiers to a special season by their standards.

The 14-school conference had nine teams in the Big Dance last season, nine in 2021 and eight in 2019. So, will the depth of the Big Ten continue to be on…

Jimbo Fisher's (lack of) performance has been the talk of college football this season, and rightfully so. After starting 2021 ranked No. 6, the Aggies finished unranked. Despite that underperformance, the Aggies again started No. 6 this fall, and at press time it looks like Texas A&M will not only finish out of the rankings come January, they…

We're only 10 days from the kickoff of Purdue football in 2022, and expectations are the highest they have been in quite some time. After a 9-4 year last year it is not so much "if" Purdue will make a bowl game, but "which bowl". There are so many bowls these days that just making it to six wins in a major conference pretty much guarantees…

This year for our Big Ten viewing guide we're going to switch things up a bit and rank the slate of games each week from worst to first. This week's slate is fun because it's, well, football! However, in the grand scheme of things, it's not the prettiest slate we could have. That said, I am not one to complain because FOOTBALL IS BACK. ALRIGHT,…

Michigan shook up the Big Ten in 2021. The Wolverines finally broke through under coach Jim Harbaugh for the program's first Big Ten championship since 2004, and that snapped Ohio State's run of four straight conference titles.
