The home teams did pretty poorly this week, going 6-6. There were a few surprises this week:
- Wisconsin lost at Iowa on Thursday. This knocked Wisconsin out of contention for the Big Ten title.
- Purdue won at Michigan on Saturday. Michigan had been undefeated (15-0) for the season at home. This knocked Michigan out of contention for the Big Ten title.
- Wisconsin won at Ohio State on Sunday. Ohio State doesn’t lose very often at home. This knocked Ohio State out of contention for the Big Ten title. Who’s left? Michigan State should win the title outright.
The Upcoming Week
Here are the games scheduled for the upcoming week (Week #10), which is the final week of the regular season:
Tuesday (02/28/2012)
Michigan State at Indiana
Minnesota at Wisconsin
Wednesday (02/29/2012)
Ohio State at Northwestern
Penn State at Purdue
Iowa at Nebraska
Thursday (03/01/2012)

Saturday (03/03/2012)

Northwestern at Iowa
Sunday (03/04/2012)
Ohio State at Michigan State
Michigan at Penn State
Illinois at Wisconsin
Purdue at Indiana
There are a couple big games this week:
- Michigan State at Indiana on Tuesday. Technically, Michigan State could still lose both games and finish in a tie for first place. It’s tough to win in Assembly Hall…
- Ohio State at Michigan State on Sunday. This is the other game that Michigan State has to win.
