per Megan:

In the eight-year history of the Big Ten Championship Game, red and green have been the it colors.

Between Wisconsin’s five appearances, Ohio State’s four and Michigan State’s three, only three other teams — Iowa, Penn State and Northwestern — have managed to break into the title game. But this year, change is afoot.

The West Division, for example, might have the most parity since the conference title game began. The East Division, which has won every trophy since the conference went with geographical alignment in 2014, doesn’t seem as insurmountable as usual.

“I’m not a gambler, by any means. But I don’t know how people put bets down on different things these days, especially on the West,” Gophers coach P.J. Fleck said. “There’s so much uncertainty, which makes it exciting.”
