Stop me if you’ve heard this story before. Everybody doubted the Big 10 all year. Everybody overlooked us because we weren’t a sexy conference with our style of play and then we showed up when it matters.

As for those of us repping B1G schools, it’s good to know the committee got it right. Now, we march towards chaos and a championship.
God bless this beautiful sport and country.
