The 2011 season was barely punctuated, and the 2012 football polls were already coming out. LSU looks like a consensus pick for No. 1, but the Big Ten is well represented. In the five polls I found, Michigan, Michigan State and Wisconsin all were ranked. And Nebraska appeared in all but one poll. Ohio State, which is ineligible to win the Big Ten title or play in a bowl in 2012 because of probation, is in two polls.

Big Ten wrestling is in full swing, and with that being the case, it’s time for a fresh “BTN Wrestling Report,” our webisode dedicated to all that action on the mat. Kara Lentz highlights Iowa’s Tony Ramos’ Co-Wrestler of the Week honor for his take down of Oklahoma State’s top-ranked Jordan Oliver. The full slate of weekend matches is previewed, including No. 1 Penn State’s visit to Northwestern. Catch all of it on BTN, BTN2Go and BTN.com.

Iowa’s men’s basketball coach Fran McCaffery got a little upset during Tuesday’s basketball game between Iowa and Michigan State, and it drew a technical foul from the official with his Hawkeyes down 69-41 to the Spartans. Watch McCaffery’s passionate protest following the call and then see his demonstrative address to his team during the subsequent timeout in yet another installment of “Did You See This?”

With an amazing 43-point performance from Brandon Paul, Illinois shocked Ohio State in Champaign. Coming in, this looked like a game that the Illini might hope to keep close with their defense, but it seemed unlikely that Bruce Weber’s struggling offense would be able to scrape together enough points against the nation’s top defense. That analysis went out the window once Paul got rolling.

Brandon Paul’s career-high 43 points helped Illinois upset No. 5 Ohio State (recap) and No. 7 Michigan State stayed perfect in Big Ten play by throttling Iowa (recap) in Big Ten men’s action Tuesday. Catch up on all the action on our Big Ten scoreboard and get stats, recaps and video in this post. Also, watch our Paul-centric highlight from Illinois’ upset win over No. 5 Ohio State now.
