- Forget a nine-game Big Ten schedule. Let's shoot for a perfect 10, Andy Baggot writes in the Wisconsin State Journal.
- Ohio State dominates the Big Ten in football, but given what the Buckeyes spend, they should win every game, AOL FanHouse's Brett McMurphy writes. Iowa also is a big spender in football.
- The top high school players in Michigan are narrowing their lists of college choices, Josh Helmholdt writes in the Detroit Free Press.
- Quarterback recruit Reilly O'Toole commits to Illinois over Northwestern and others, ESPNChicago.com's Scott Powers writes. Northwestern isn't too broken up, though, as offensive lineman Matt Frazier pledges to play for the Wildcats, Mike Clark writes in the Chicago Sun-Times.
