The Big Ten came out with its all-league teams. And, as you would suspect, some of the choices raised eyebrows. So, let’s start daily links there.

The 2013 All-Big Ten Football Teams were announced Monday night on BTN. Dave Revsine hosted the 60-minute special that included analysis from Gerry DiNardo and Howard Griffith. See both of the teams in this post. Earlier Monday, BTN.com released its 2013 All-Big Ten teams.

The Big Ten not only released its 2013 All-Big Ten Football Teams on Monday night, it also awarded 12 of its 17 individual trophies. The remaining five will be announced Tuesday night on BTN/BTN2Go. See all the 2013 trophy winners in this post.
