GRR: Big 10 Conference
After the Big Ten Championship game, someone called out to Ohio State Head Coach Tom Rooney—“Hey Tom, don’t you feel 25 pounds lighter with that monkey off your back?”
Saturday sees the Big Ten complete its season with every team in the conference playing a finals game.
The championship will be between Indiana and Ohio State, a rematch of a game GRR attended earlier this fall, which Indiana won 33-31.
One more week remains in the Big Ten regular season and here's where we stand.
Michigan State held off Michigan 15-5 Friday night in Ann Arbor to essentially secure 4th place in the Big Ten and a spot in the 3rd-4th Game on November 13 in Chicago.
MSU has played five games in conference play—their game vs Purdue was called off but will be played November 6. Michigan, at 2-3, will be playing undefeated Indiana, and are not favored to win.
Michigan and Michigan State both won in Big Ten action and that sets up a key clash between the two rivals on Friday.
That's when the two 2-2 teams will meet, with the winner almost certainly joining Illinois in the 3rd-4th game on Finals Day.
