We last checked in on the Big Ten around Christmas and the last few weeks have provided some clarity to an entirely confusing conference. The league appears to have contenders at the top of the pile, but sorting through the 5th through 13th task remains a fools’ errand.

Still to come
- We have a contending tier
- Rutgers is falling apart
- Michigan's offense is clicking
- The league of the post up
- Don't overreact to turbulence in the middle of the league
