Big Ten Football 2011 Power Rankings: Preconference Edition
One of the main storylines in the Big Ten entering this college football season was all the dual threat quarterbacks. Well so far, I'd say it's really only Wisconsin's Russell Wilson and Nathan Scheelhaase who fit that bill.

With Nebraska Cornhuskers in Big 10, All “NU” Rivalry with Northwestern Developing?
There's a new college football team which simply has a "N" on it's helmet in the Big Ten this year. This year, the addition of the Nebraska Cornhuskers means we have a new NU in the league.
