There is Big Ten football today. It's here. The season is actually here. You've been through a lot, 'Nutters. You deserve this.
Hopefully, we can entertain you for a bit here while you wait out Saturday's noon EST kickoff against visiting Oregon State.

* Big Ten offensive MVP ...
* Big Ten defensive MVP ...
* Big Ten freshman of the year ...
* Big Ten West champ ...
* Big Ten East order of finish ...
* Big Ten champ ...
* The College Football Playoff quartet ...
* National champion ...
Plus, what would a Wiltfong visit be without an update on which recruits Ohio State is focusing on?
