That season ending tilt is looking like it'll be the Leaders division championship … [Read more...] about Penn State is “Radioactive” to Bowl Selection Committees; Big 10 Bowl Projections
Big 10 Bowl Projections; Much Hinges on Wisconsin Badgers
When looking at the Big Ten conference standings, and trying to figure out the hierarchy for the college football bowl system, I can't help but think of one of my favorite lines from the '80s movie "Fletch."

Buckeyes John Simon Bright Spot in Mediocre Ohio St. Season
The Ohio State Buckeyes are having a very mediocre season. Their win at Illinois Saturday saved their season. It put them back over .500 and in the discussion for at least a minor bowl. Their offense is still terrible, but their defense has been very strong. John Simonโs aggressive, relentless pursuit of the opposition is a big reason why. The junior defensive tackle from … [Read more...] about Buckeyes John Simon Bright Spot in Mediocre Ohio St. Season
