Looking For a Share of the

Crown: Ohio State can

become the first Big Ten

team in 2012 to earn a share

of a division championship

this weekend. A Buckeye

victory against Illinois on

Saturday, coupled with aPurdue victory against Penn

State, would give Ohio

State at least a share of the

Leaders Division crown. The

Buckeyes maintained their

unblemished record last

weekend aer defeang

the Niany Lions, and hold a 1.5 game lead over

second-place Penn State. Wisconsin is third in the

Leaders Division, two games behind Ohio State,

and has a bye this weekend.

Crowded at the Top: Just one game separates first

from fourth place in the Legends Division standings

as each team has played at least half of its confer-

ence games this season. Last Saturdays matchupssaw the divisions top four teams going head-to-

head with Michigan facing Nebraska and Iowa taking

on Northwestern. A Cornhusker victory brought

Nebraska into a first-place e with the Wolverines,

while the Wildcats moved into third place in the

division standings aer defeang Iowa on Saturday.

Nebraska and Michigan each are on the road in

divisional contests, Iowa heads to Indiana and

Northwestern enjoys its bye week this Saturday.

More Division Matchups: Four intra-division

contests highlight this weeks slate of conference

matchups, with two in each division. In the Legends

Division, Michigan travels to face Minnesota in

the annual bale for the Lile Brown Jug, with the

winner earning bowl eligibility, while Nebraska

heads to Michigan State. In the Leaders Division,

Illinois heads to Ohio State in the annual matchup

for the Illibuck, while Penn State heads to Purdue.As part of divisional play, the Big Ten has instuted

a ebreaker to determine the Big Ten Football

Championship Game parcipants, if necessary.

Aer head-to-head matchups, the next ebreaker

is records within the division, which makes winning

divisional games an important part of the Big Ten

tle chase. See Page 11 of this release for the full

ebreaker.

Bowled Over: With its victory over naonally ranked Michigan on Saturday, Nebraska notched

its sixth victory of the season to become bowl eligible. Nebraska has advanced to 48 bowl

contests in program history, including each of the last five seasons. The Cornhuskers are one

of three Big Ten programs to boast 20 or more bowl victories, joining Michigan and Penn State.

Nebraska is the third conference program to earn bowl eligibility this season, along with North-

western and Wisconsin. In addion, Michigan, Michigan State and Minnesota need just one

more victory to become bowl eligible.

Rushers Pass the Century Mark: Last Saturdays eff

orts saw four conference rushers surpass the1,000-yard mark for the season, including one quarterback. The quartet is among a group of just

10 rushers naonally to have eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark this year. Ohio States Braxton Miller

recorded the fourth 1,000-yard rushing mark by a Big Ten quarterback in conference history, now

with 1,093 yards to lead all conference rushers. Northwesterns Venric Mark is the conferences

second-leading rusher with 1,077 yards, becoming the first Wildcat running back to reach the

1,000-yard plateau since Tyrell Suon in 2006. Last Saturdays Michigan State-Wisconsin contest

saw each teams starng running back surpass the 1,000-yard mark as the Spartans LeVeon Bell

now has 1,061 yards, while the Badgers Montee Ball boasts 1,028 yards this season.

Going For 10: With a road victory against conference-unbeaten Penn State last Saturday, Ohio

State kept its unblemished record intact by improving to 9-0. The Buckeyes are the only team

in the country boasng nine victories this season, and one of six teams in the country with an

undefeated record this year. Head coach Urban Meyer became the third coach in program history

to win nine straight contests to begin his tenure. It marks just the fih me since 1905 a Big Ten

coach has won nine more games to begin their coaching tenures. Ohio States Carol Widdoes won

12 straight from 1944-45, and Buckeye mentor Earle Bruce opened with an 11-0 mark in 1979,equaling the start of Michigans Bennie Oosterbaan from 1948-49. Former Wisconsin coach Wil-

liam Juneau began his career with nine victories from 1912-13.

More Than a Win at Stake: Among this weeks slate of matchups is a pair of trophy games

between annual rivals. It will be the 99th meeng in the series featuring division foes Michigan

and Minnesota, as well as Illinois and Ohio State. Since 1909, the Michigan-Minnesota winner has

claimed the Lile Brown Jug, with the Wolverines holding a 67-22-3 advantage with the trophy

at stake. Also on Saturday, Illinois and Ohio State will bale for the Illibuck, a trophy series that

began in 1925, with the Buckeyes holding the series advantage.

Another Four-Million Season: Last weekend, the Big Ten surpassed the four-million mark in total

aendance for the 20th straight season and 23rd season overall. With more than 407,000 patrons

aending last weekends games, the conference has welcomed more than 4.3 million fans to Big

Ten stadiums through nine weeks of the season, with 28 sellouts. During the 2012 season, the

conference boasts an average of 70,501 fans per game, which would rank among the top 10 in

conference history in average fans per game among all contests.

The Epitome of Student-Athlete: The Naonal Football Foundaon (NFF) & College Hall of Fame

named Nebraskas Rex Burkhead and Northwesterns Patrick Ward two of 15 recipients of the NFF

Naonal Scholar-Athlete Awards. Burkhead and Ward were selected from a naonwide pool of

147 semifinalists from among all NCAA divisions and the NAIA. The two Big Ten student-athletes

are now finalists for the 2012 William V. Campbell Trophy, which recognizes an individual as the

absolute best scholar-athlete in the naon. The NFFs Naonal Scholar-Athlete program, launched

in 1959, is the first iniave in history to award scholar-athletes postgraduate scholarships for

their combined athlec, academic and leadership abilies. Michigan States Kirk Cousins and Pur-

dues Joe Holland earned NFF Naonal Scholar-Athlete Awards last season. Two Big Ten standouts

have won the Campbell Trophy - Ohio States Bobby Hoying in 1995 and Craig Krenzel in 2003.
