The Big Ten Conference hasn't gotten much love this season, and understandably so. With a shoddy record outside of the league, particularly against power opponents, the B1G has moved to the back of the line among the five major college football conferences.
But now that conference play is in full swing throughout the country, all focus turns inward, and the Big Ten's best will try to separate themselves from the pack and remain in the running for a major bowl bid or a spot in the first-ever College Football Playoff.
With as wild as this season has already been, though, it's hard to predict just what will happen over the final eight weeks and into the postseason. We'll try anyway.
Take a look at our predictions for Big Ten happenings for the remainder of 2014 and then let us know your guesses in the comments.
