10. My 2012-13 hoops All-Price-of-Admission Team
For the last couple of months, we?ve seen basketball experts offer their preseason All-American Teams. I offered my super-early Big Ten picks - emphasis on the ?super-early? - in December. With tip-off only a couple weeks away, I decided to put a twist on those teams. See my team of Big Ten players worth the price of admission in this post. Let?s call it my All-Price-of-Admission Team.

9. Numbers: Big stats for big Week 8 games
Week 8 in the Big Ten is chock full of intriguing games. Michigan-Michigan State has arguably been the most talked-about rivalry in the conference over the last five years - from Mike Hart?s ?little brother? quip in 2007 all the way through the early-season derogatory comments about Denard Robinson on Twitter by some Michigan State players this season.

8. Watch live pregame video from Michigan on BTN2Go
Make your plans now, Michigan State and Michigan fans. Big Ten Field Pass on BTN2Go goes live from the Big House on Saturday one hour before Michigan takes on Michigan State at 3:30 p.m. ET. If you haven?t been following this season, Field Pass is when BTN turns on a BTN TV camera one hour before kickoff at a selected Big Ten football game.

7. Dienhart: Huskers silence naysayers in comeback win
It?s an overstatement to say this was the most important game of the Bo Pelini era. But it certainly was the biggest of this season.

6. 1st quarter recap: Penn State 14, Iowa 0
Penn State aired it out to the tune of 132 passing yards in the quarter, and the Nittany Lions lead 14-0 at the end of the first quarter. Penn State got on the scoreboard first, rattling off a nine-play, 84-yard drive that ended in a score when Matt McGloin and Jesse James combined for a 31-yard touchdown.

5. Preseason No. 1 team delights at 'Hoosier Hysteria'
Indiana held its ?Hoosier Hysteria? on Saturday night at Assembly Hall. Always a big draw, the event was even more anticipated this year as the Hoosiers, fresh off an impressive Sweet 16 season, are ranked No. 1 in several preseason national polls. The exciting Hoosiers did not disappoint the rabid Indiana faithful Saturday.

4. Week 9 Power Rankings: Badgers stay white hot
This is the Wisconsin we all expected at the beginning of the season. The last three games, the Badgers have outscored foes 107-41 and outgained them 1,485 yards to 781. Those offensive line troubles are ancient history and the defense has played well all season long.

3. Dienhart: My Week 8 Big Ten Bowl Projections
Northwestern became the first Big Ten team to reach bowl eligibility with its 21-13 win at Minnesota. Wisconsin also enhanced its bowl prospects with a dominating 38-14 win at Purdue, as the Badgers now look like the clear favorite to represent the Leaders Division in the Big Ten title game.
