After a mostly sobering and shaky Week 1, the Big Ten aims for stronger results today. All 12 teams are in action, and in an unusual twist for a non-league weekend, seven squads play true road games, including three in Pac-12 territory. It's an intriguing slate, to say the least.

Geared up for the games? Good. We're here to get your ready, and our game day chat begins at 10 a.m. ET. As a reminder, this season we're using Twitter a lot more to provide updates throughout the day, and you can follow along in the module on the right side of the blog.

Ready, set, go ...
