Last Year's Result: Michigan 63, Indiana 47
This game is a great example of why I believe the Hoosiers a legitimate contender in the Big 10 if they have just a decent defense to work with. This was a wild game from start to finish, and even though Michigan will probably take a longer stride on the improvement path, it's always exciting to see the Hoosiers streak up and down the field.
Last Year's Result: Nebraska 27, Northwestern 24
These two teams, in my opinion, will both be vastly improved from a year ago. Northwestern was on the losing end of almost every Big 10 game in 2013, while Nebraska had a deceptively successful season. I can't wait to see the 2014 version of this game, because it's bound to be a back-and-forth affair and will probably feature a little more offense.
Last Year's Result: Penn State 43, Michigan 40, 4 OT
I watched a majority of this game from my knees in my living room. Allen Robinson stole the show for Penn State late and fueled a thrilling, four-overtime win in Happy Valley. There's going to be revenge on the minds of the Wolverines, and this has the possible makings of a good defensive battle.
Last Year's Result: Michigan State 34, Ohio State 24
There was an incredible amount of anticipation building up before this game, because Ohio State was staring into the eyes of an opportunity to remain perfect and compete for a national title. Instead, Mark Dantonio's Spartans throttled the Buckeyes and marched to the Rose Bowl. When these two teams meet in November, there's a very good chance it will have a large say in who represents the East Division in the Big 10 Championship.
Last Year's Result: Ohio State 42, Michigan 41
Is this even a debate? The fact that Michigan came so close to snatching a perfect regular season away from the hated Buckeyes means there is already some extra blood in the water for this season's rematch. Two fantastic quarterbacks will be dueling it out in Columbus in late November, and it's going to be fierce.
