Front-Runners, Expectations for Final Month in Big Ten East

The final month of the 2015 college football season should be a captivating race to the finish for the front-runners and spoilers in the Big Ten East Division.

Ohio State, the defending division, conference and national champions, are the popular choice to take the East—and deservedly so. It seems J.T. Barrett has locked up the starting quarterback job, and the Buckeyes have recently played outstanding football with the sophomore under center.

But then there's Michigan and Michigan State, which have both performed well enough to earn Top 15 rankings and will soon attempt to derail Ohio State's aspirations for a repeat title.
