Gophers, PSU among teams with plenty to prove in Big Ten even with division races nearly over
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Minnesota is playing meaningful Big Ten games in November.
Wisconsin visits Saturday in a rivalry game that might have wider implications than reclaiming Paul Bunyan's Axe. A visit to Michigan State looms next week, though coach Jerry Kill isn't looking behind the Badgers. Both teams are 8-2.
Realistically, dislodging Ohio State and the Spartans from divisional leads will be tough. Each school just needs one win in the final two weeks of the regular season to clinch.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Still there's plenty left to prove around the league. Besides Minnesota, Penn State can clinch a winning record at home on Senior Day by beating Nebraska.
The Buckeyes are looking for a 23rd straight win, though a win over Indiana likely won't help for the BCS standings.
