The home teams didn’t do very well this week, going 6-6. There were a few surprises this week:
- Minnesota won at Illinois on Wednesday. Both are ranked, but it’s still surprising that Illinois could get blown out at home.
- Illinois lost at Wisconsin on Saturday. Illinois is (was) ranked, Wisconsin isn’t. It was a tough week for Illinois.
The Upcoming Week
Here are the games scheduled for the upcoming week (Week #3):
Tuesday (01/15/2013)
Wisconsin at Indiana
Wednesday (01/16/2013)
Michigan State at Penn State
Purdue at Nebraska
Thursday (01/17/2013)
Michigan at Minnesota
Northwestern at Illinois
Saturday (01/19/2013)
Nebraska at Penn State
Ohio State at Michigan State
Wisconsin at Iowa
Sunday (01/20/2013)
Indiana at Northwestern
There are three big games this week:
- Wisconsin at Indiana on Tuesday. It’s time to find out if Wisconsin is for real.
- Michigan at Minnesota on Thursday. One of these teams is dropping out of the race for the Big Ten title, at least for a while.
- Ohio State at Michigan State on Saturday. Another elimination game.
