We have now reached the most glorious portion of the year, when the Big Ten basketball and football seasons are happening at the same time. The college basketball season tips off today with 12 of 14 Big Ten basketball programs in action. And in just two days, week six of the Big Ten football season continues with six great matchups over the course of Friday and Saturday. Big Ten Nirvana has almost been reached. CBB Central's Kevin Sweeney is back for the third straight day to finish off our Big Ten basketball preview, and Saturday Tradition's Ryan O'Gara joins as well to take an early look at what this weekend has in store on the gridiron. Plus, the CFP committee put out its first rankings of the season. So much is happening all at once, but we keep you covered here with your favorite conference, every day.
