Big Ten Week Seven Picks

Only four weeks remain in the Big Ten season and the race is heating up. Iowa with a huge win over Michigan has put itself back in title contention. It appears to only be a three team race for that championship between the Spartans, Wolverines, and Hawkeyes. The real exciting race however is the race for the 4th seed. The 4th seed in the Big Ten tournament gets a bye in the first round along with the top 3 teams, and there are a lot of teams muddled together fighting for that 4 spot. Ohio St, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Northwestern are all within one game of each other for that 4th spot, and Indiana is just a game and a half back. I went 7-4 last week in my picks, putting me at 42-23 on the season.
