It’s a safe bet at this point that the 2016 Big Ten championship won’t look the same as last December’s matchup. The 2015 divisional winners -- Michigan State and Iowa -- have four losses between them before the halfway mark of the regular season.
Each division has a pair of top-12 teams leading the way. For now, the Spartans and Hawkeyes have a lot of work to do to get back into the conversation. Which team is in bigger trouble at this point? Brian Bennett and Dan Murphy debate.
