Despite not being featured through the first week of bowl season, the conference will have a heavy presence this weekend—and beyond—with two Big Ten teams playing on Saturday and another one taking the field next Monday.
And while it's ultimately the outcomes of the bowl games that will matter most, the postseason presents no shortage of opportunities for memorable individual outings to take place, as well. Some bowl games have even come to be defined by their lineage of MVPs, and this postseason will give the Big Ten 10 opportunities to showcase outstanding individual performances.
In some cases, it will be an opponent and not the Big Ten representative who has a specific player rise to the occasion in a winning effort.
