The Big Ten schedule has been a bit mixed up this year, with some conference games happening a few weeks ago and then mixed in with other random games. However, all Big Ten teams have now played at least three games, and the conference is starting to eat each other like it often happens. There are only two teams left that are undefeated inside the conference, and those are the two Michigan schools.
Where does Wisconsin stand after the big win over Iowa and the upcoming game against Rutgers this evening? Here is a look at the Big Ten conference standings:

There are a couple of big basketball games tonight in the Big Ten, as Jon Rothstein mentions. Monday night Big Ten specials are fun, and Wisconsin gets to be on the road in Jersey Mike's Arena to take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. It's not a team to take for granted, especially in that arena. Over the years, it has been frustrating for the Badgers (and other Big Ten teams). That game will take place at 6 pm CT on FS1.
The only other Big Ten game tonight is the one mentioned above, with Ohio State going to Minnesota to take on the Golden Gophers. However, Big Ten fans are already looking forward to tomorrow when Michigan and UCLA face off in a battle of ranked Big Ten foes. It could be when we see another undefeated conference opponent turn into a one-loss Big Ten team.
Wisconsin gets to come home after Rutgers and will host the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Friday, January 10. That game will be important not simply because beating Minnesota is great fun but also because the students will be back in class and ready to create a rowdy atmosphere for the Badgers to play under. On Wisconsin!
