As of Friday afternoon, the average ticket price on the secondary market to see the No. 6 Badgers battle the No. 8 Nittany Lions was just $104, the lowest for a Big Ten Championship in the last four years according to TickPick.

UNIVERSITY PARK- Well, this stinks, but I’m here to give you the bad news.
“We are going to get it going today”, he said. Not if it’s Wisconsin. The Nittany Lions’ only win against a ranked team this season was a three-point win against No. 2 Ohio State. The Nittany Lions did something the vast majority of the college football world didn’t think they could do, and they did it in style.
Bottom line: With a fully operational Barkley, the Big Ten’s third-leading rusher with 1,219 yards, coach James Franklin has the best of both sides. “The only thing that exists for us is Wisconsin and the Big Ten championship game”.
There’s been little talk about the College Football Playoffs. Penn State football was sanctioned by the NCAA in 2012. Cornerback Sojourn Shelton, a four-year starter, had two interceptions last week against Minnesota. How could they keep the Buckeyes (12-1) out of the postseason after winning a game by 59 points? Penn State defensive back Marcus Allen was 5 yards off the line of scrimmage.
We know that in sports there are lies, damned lies and statistics. I think Ohio State has done enough.
A score that is, frankly, a damned lie.
The No. 7 Penn State Nittany Lions are one win away from something special.
Context. Context. Context. Context.
The Badgers have all but capped the best in the league, holding Michigan State’s L.J. Scott, Michigan’s De’Veon Smith and Iowa Akrum Wadley – to name a few – to fewer than 70 yards of production. So anyone who’s using that as their reasoning for picking the Wolverines is blatantly ignoring the facts. The Penn State NITTANY Lions will face the Wisconsin Badgers in what many have said is going to be a classic to remember. But Penn State is back on the Map in a Big Way. In my view, probably.
This season, UW has only recovered four fumbles, meaning more than 75 percent of Wisconsin’s turnovers forced have been interceptions.
At some point, losing matters.
“Really, all I remember was just the double thump and seeing Grant (Haley) scoop the ball and take off”, Cabinda said. 2 ranked Ohio State. “I don’t spend any time trying to figure out the big picture”. “That’s really the only change in the things that we’ve done this week compared to last week”.
Wild card: If Oklahoma, now eighth, is especially impressive against Oklahoma State in a de facto Big 12 title game Saturday in Norman and the Big Ten title game is a slog maybe just maybe the committee goes a different direction. One week earlier, Navy rolled up 480 rushing yards in a rout of East Carolina. But there’s still a long way to go before the Committee releases their final rankings. “Not just knocking it down, but let’s get the pick”. Wisconsin’s defense has been good all year.

When Sean Spencer became Penn State’s defensive line coach in 2014, he nicknamed his group of tackles and ends the “Wild Dogs” and upped the ante a year ago by using a 3-foot rawhide bone as their encouragement.
