WEEK 7 SCHEDULE

BIG TEN. BIG NEWS.Sill Going Srong: Two Big Ten programs maintain

unblemished records heading into the seventh week

of the season. Ohio State is the only program in the

nation boasting a 6-0 record after going on the road

to defeat previously unbeaten Northwestern last

Saturday. The Buckeyes are 2-0 in conference play

and have a bye this weekend. Michigan was victori-

ous against Minnesota in its conference opener last

Saturday and will carry a 5-0 mark into this week-

ends matchup at Penn State. Michigan and OhioState are among a group of 17 programs in the

country who remain undefeated.

Nohing New: Ohio State moves to 6-0 for the sec-

ond straight season. Since 2002, the Buckeyes have

officially opened the year with six straight wins five

times, achieving the feat in 2002, 2006, 2007 and

2012. In each of those seasons, Ohio State opened

with a least 10 straight victories. Michigan moves

to 5-0 for the third time in the last four seasons,

having also won its first five games to open the

2010 season and six straight to begin the 2011

campaign. Prior to 2011, the Wolverines last won

their first six games of the season in 2006, a year in

which they opened with 11 consecutive victories.

Going Bowling: With its sixth victory of the sea-

son last weekend, Ohio State secured bowl eligi-

bility. The Buckeyes have officially advanced to 42

postseason games previously in program history

and return to the bowl scene for the second time

in three years, having appeared in the 2012 Gator

Bowl. Michigan, with five overall wins, needs just

one more victory to secure bowl eligibility, while

five other conference programs need a pair of tri-

umphs to reach the six-wins mark.

Lucky 18: A pair of conference programs saw

their respective winning streaks stretch to a

national-best 18 games last Saturday. Ohio State

won its 18th straight contest after knocking off

Northwestern, while Michigan defeated

Minnesota to win its 18th consecutive home

matchup. The Buckeyes streak is currently the

fourth-longest in program history, behind their

22-game streak from 1967-69. Michigan has not

lost in Ann Arbor since Wisconsin defeated the

Wolverines back in 2010. Michigan currently owns

a five-game winning streak overall, which is tied

for the 10th-longest active winning streak.
