Good morning! So, week eight is complete, and I think it’s safe to say that the Big Ten picture is finally starting to become clear. Ohio State, Indiana, and Oregon appear to be running away with it, but there are still several teams that are hanging tough.
How about UCLA, winning their third straight game? The Michigan Wolverines took a stand in the Big House, and Nebraska got served. Let’s check out the results below and see how we did with our picks.
