With every Big Ten team having played at least nine conference games, we've reached the midway point of the Big Ten season. It's been a fantastic race thus far, with Indiana one game ahead of the pace, and it should only get better.

Halfway home, it's a good time to consider early All-Big Ten teams. See my teams in this post.

For the record, I factored in both nonconference and conference play, with a bigger emphasis on the latter, of course.
