The Big Ten may claim No. 1 Ohio State, the defending national champion, but SEC fans still can laugh at the players and fans in the conference to the north.
Especially with the sort of antics the Big Ten has produced so far on Saturday.
Northwestern beat Minnesota, 27-0, on Saturday. That’s a good win for the No. 16-ranked team. So good, in fact, that the players decided to dance.

Earlier in the day, Wisconsin — 33 yards away from the end zone — punted rather than attempting a 50-yard field goal. Even the offensively-challenged South Carolina wouldn’t have pulled that move.

Indiana tried to one-up Indiana, faking a punt — inside their own 20-yard line, with a lead against No. 1 Ohio State. Not the best idea, as it was not successful.

Finally, to complete the quartet of early-game laughs, Michigan at one point utilized four tight ends. On one play. Despite a potential first-round pick at quarterback in Connor Cook.
