Big Ten Mobile Tour: The Big Ten's Honoring Legends. Building Leaders. Mobile Tour will make a stop at each campus this football season. This weekend, it will be in Evanston for the Northwestern vs. Penn State game. Visit www.bigten.org/blog/mobile-tour and follow along on Twitter @B1GMobileTour for more information.

Big Ten Leads All Conferences with Six Teams in BCS Standings: The Big Ten topped all conferences with six teams ranked among the top 25 in the initial BCS standings . . .

Still Going Strong: Wisconsin emerged as the conference's final undefeated team following last weekend's games . . . Wisconsin is also one of 10 teams in the nation to maintain a perfect record heading into the eighth week of the season.

Three Perfect to Start Big Ten Season: While Wisconsin is the Big Ten's final remaining unbeaten overall, the Badgers are joined by Michigan State and Penn State with spotless records in conference games . . .

Showdown of Divisional Leaders: On Saturday, teams at the top of the Legends and Leaders Divisions face off in a top-20 showdown in primetime. Michigan State, atop the Legends Division at 2-0, will face Leaders Division co-leader Wisconsin, which also boasts a 2-0 mark . . .

Big Ten Only Conference with Half of Teams with One Loss or Less: Including Wisconsin's perfect 6-0 record, the Big Ten is the only conference in the country with half of its teams with one loss or less. Only two conferences, the Pac-12 and SEC, have four teams that are either undefeated or have just one loss this season. Three Big Ten squads enjoy 6-1 marks with Illinois, Michigan and Penn State each having just one loss through seven games. Michigan State and Nebraska, which each had a bye earlier this season, are 5-1.

One for the Tie, Two for the Lead: Penn State head coach Joe Paterno, in his 46th season as Nittany Lion head coach, earned his 407th career win against Purdue on Saturday. He now needs one victory to tie former Grambling head coach Eddie Robinson for the NCAA Division I record for career wins . . .

Big Ten Now With Four Bowl Eligible Squads: Two more Big Ten teams became bowl eligible with their victories on Saturday. Penn State and Wisconsin each earned their sixth win of the season, cementing their status as bowl-eligibles . . . The two teams joined Illinois and Michigan as the Big Ten teams who have achieved bowl eligibility in 2011.

Two More Knocking on the Door: While four conference teams have already earned bowl eligibility, two more Big Ten squads can reach the milestone with wins this weekend. Michigan State and Nebraska each boast 5-1 records this season, and wins this weekend would give the Big Ten six bowl eligible teams through eight weeks of play in 2011.
