BIG TEN. BIG NEWS.Penn State Eyes Share ofDivision Championship:Boasting an unblemished recordin conference play at 5-0, Penn

State could clinch at least a shareof the Big Ten Leaders Divisionchampionship with a win over

Nebraska this weekend. With atwo-game lead over Ohio Stateand Wisconsin, the Nittany Lions

can even clinch a spot in theinaugural Big Ten Championshipgame with a victory over the

Cornhuskers and losses by boththe Buckeyes and Badgers.

Leaders Division Breakdown: With three weeks to play, five Leaders Division squads remain eligible forthe divisional title. Ohio State and Wisconsin are tied for second in the standings with 3-2 records, whileIllinois and Purdue are tied for fourth with 2-3 marks. While the Nittany Lions can clinch a share of thedivision title with a victory over Nebraska, PSU closes the season on the road against the Buckeyes and

Badgers, which means both teams would have a chance to earn an advantage over Penn State in the tie-breaker with head-to-head victories.

Legends Division Breakdown: All six Legends Division squads remain in the hunt for a division champion-ship with Michigan State leading the pack with a 4-1 conference mark. Iowa, Michigan and Nebraska arein a three-way tie for second in the standings with 3-2 Big Ten records. Minnesota and Northwestern also

maintain hopes for a share of the division title but must win out and hope no team finishes better than4-4 in the division. The Spartans can earn a share of the division title with a victory in Iowa City com-bined with losses by the Wolverines and Cornhuskers, but the Big Ten Championship Game berth would

still be up for grabs with two games to play.

Big Ten One of Three Conferences With Five or More Teams in Latest BCS Rankings: The latest BowlChampionship Series (BCS) standings have been released and the Big Ten is one of three conferenceswith five or more teams among the top 25. The Big Ten and Big 12 are tied for second among all confer-ences behind only the SEC (six teams) and followed by the ACC (three). Penn State is the Big Tens highest

ranked team at No. 12 overall, moving up four spots from last weeks poll. Michigan State, Wisconsin andNebraska appear at Nos. 17, 18 and 19, respectively, while Michigan rounds out the Big Ten contingent atNo. 24.

In the Legends Division, MichiganState puts its first-place status on the line against Iowa, which is tied for second place. The Spartans

own a one-game lead over Michigan, Nebraska and Iowa with three games to play. Ohio State,which is tied for second in the Leaders Division, travels to Purdue. The Buckeyes look to keep pacein the division standings, entering the week tied with Wisconsin for second and two games behind

division leader Penn State. With the beginning of divisional play, the Big Ten has instituted a newtiebreaker (see page 11) to determine the Big Ten Football Championship Game participants, ifnecessary. After head-to-head matchups, the next tiebreaker is records within the division, which

makes winning divisional games an important part of the Big Ten title chase.

Big Ten Now Boasts Eight Bowl-Eligible Squads: Wins by Iowa and Ohio State last Saturday givethe Big Ten eight bowl-eligible squads, the most of any conference in the nation. The Hawkeyes

have 25 bowl berths in their history, while the Buckeyes have made 41 bowl appearances intheir history. Iowa and Ohio State join Illinois, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Penn Stateand Wisconsin as the conferences bowl-eligible teams. Northwestern and Purdue, with four

wins apiece, each remain in the hunt for bowl berths with three weeks to play. The conferencerecord for bowl-eligible squads is 10, set in 2007.

Passing the 1,000-Yard Mark: Three running backs and one wide receiver from the Big Ten havesurpassed the 1,000 yard-mark in their respective specialties this season. Iowas Marcus Cokerleads the conference with 1,101 yards through nine games this season, an average of 122.3

yards per game. Wisconsins Montee Ball trails close behind with 1,076 yards, good for 119.6yards per game, and Penn States Silas Redd is the conferences third leading rusher with 1,006rushing yards, an average of 111.8 yards per game. Two other players are also nearing the mile-

stone in Nebraskas Rex Burkhead (951 yards) and Michigans Denard Robinson (880). Through

the air, Illinois wide receiver A.J. Jenkins has 1,030 receiving yards this season, an average of114.4 per game. Iowas Marvin McNutt (959) and Michigan States B.J. Cunningham (827) are

less than 200 yards from joining Jenkins in the 1,000-yard club.

Pass Masters: A pair of Big Ten quarterbacks have surpassed the 2,000-yard mark through theair this season, with three other signal callers less than 400 yards from the achieving the feat.Wisconsins Russell Wilson, who leads the nation in pass efficiency, leads the conference with2,238 passing yards, an average of 248.7 yards per game, while Iowas James Vandenberg ranks

second in the Big Ten with 2,089 yards for an average of 232.1 yards per outing. Other confer-ence signal callers nearing the 2,000-yard club are Michigan States Kirk Cousins (1,989 yards),Illinois Nathan Scheelhaase (1,687) and Michigans Denard Robinson (1,617).

Scoring in Bunches: With 24 touchdowns this season, including 21 rushing and three receivingscores, Wisconsin running back Montee Ball is just two away from matching the Big Tens single-

season record for total touchdowns. Three conference standouts are tied for the Big Ten recordwith 26 total touchdowns in a season. Ohio States Pete Johnson (1975), Indianas AnthonyThompson (1988) and Penn States Ki-Jana Carter (1994) each recorded 26 touchdowns in a sin-

gle season. Balls 24 touchdowns are the most in the Big Ten since former Badger Brian Calhounset the school record, now matched by Ball, with 24 scores in 2005.

Youth Movement: When Indianas Tre Roberson and Ohio States Braxton Miller took the field lastSaturday, it marked the first time since 1988 that two true freshman quarterbacks started a Big Tengame. The last conference contest to feature two first-year starters was when Purdues Brian Foxfaced Wisconsins Lionell Crawford on Oct. 29, 1988. Last weekend, Miller was one of three Buckeyes

to rush for more than 100 yards, finishing with 105 yards and two touchdowns, while Roberson hadnearly 250 yards of total offense, including 174 through the air with a touchdown pass.

The Nations Best Fans: After welcoming 413,680 fans into its stadiums on Saturday, the Big Tensurpassed the two-million mark for attendance during Big Ten games only. In six weeks of theconference season, the Big Ten boasts a total attendance of more than 2.2 million, an average of

73,449 fans, with 17 sellouts. In all games, the conference will climb past the five-million mark intotal attendance next Saturday for the seventh straight season and ninth time overall. The BigTen is on pace to establish average attendance records for both all games (73,483 average) and

conference games only (73,449) this season. The Big Ten set a new record last year with an aver-

age of 72,193 patrons per outing in conference games only, while the all games high mark foraverage attendance of 72,566 was set in 2005.

Battle for the Axe: In a conference with 16 traditional trophy games, the nations oldest rivalrywill be renewed when Wisconsin travels to Minnesota. It will be the 121st meeting between the

two programs, and the 64th time the teams will battle for Paul Bunyans Axe, awarded to thewinner of the contest since 1948. Minnesota holds a 59-53-8 edge in the overall series, butWisconsin maintains the advantage in the battle for the Axe with a 37-23-3 record.
