Big Ten Week Six Picks

I went 6-4 last week, putting me at 35-19 on the season. What a wild and crazy Big Ten season this has been, only further proving that the Big Ten is the best conference in the country. Penn St knocking off Ohio St, Northwestern outshining expectations, this conference has 12 solid teams up and down, no complete pushovers. Unfortunately therefore, that means some really good teams are going to fall victims to their meat grinder schedule, and right now my Badgers are one of those teams, as is Ohio St and Indiana. It may be shaping into a two team race between the two Michigan schools for first place but dont rule out Iowa. And look at this, Northwestern, who many experts thought would go 0-18 on conference play, currently sits in fourth place. Craziness in the Big Ten
