Michigan State is the highest rated Big Ten team at No. 14. The Legends Division Champions have already clinched a berth in the Big Ten championship game. The Michigan Wolverines at No. 15 are in an interesting spot. If they defeat Ohio State and move up at least one spot the Wolverines can be selected for an at large BCS bid and bring a big pay day to the Big Ten.
