(I've been really anxious about the possibility of using that headline. Isn't it a beauty?)
Tell your Sagarin-based odds to shut up. The Big Ten pulls it out by going 3-2 on the road--with perhaps the biggest win resulting from a 23-point Illini comeback in Clemson, South Carolina.
It's mildly ironic that the conference finally took down the ACC without a win from MSU, the only Big Ten team that doesn't have an all-time losing record in the challenge (5-5 now). But what's good for the Big Ten is good for MSU.
In other words: WOOOOO!!!!
