There is still a ton up for grabs in the Big Ten, as the winners of each division remain very much undecided. Illinois looks to be the best in the West, and Ohio State and Michigan appear to be on a crash course for a game that will decide the East, but there is a lot of football to be played. While the top teams remain in lockstep, some individual players are looking to separate themselves from the pack.
