Wolverine Wednesday Update: Divisions and Team Report

First to team news:

  • Michael Shaw, RB is eligible to play this fall.
  • Fitz Toussaint is probably not going to play on Saturday.

Big Ten News:

It seems the 2011 Big Ten divisions will be reveled tonight at 7:00PM on the Big Ten Network.  The reports are that Michigan and OSU are in separate divisions but might stay the last game of the year.   That would mean Michigan and Nebraska would headline one division and OSU and PSU the other. 

Multiple sources told ESPN.com that the two divisions in the Big Ten will look like:
• Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan State, Northwestern and Minnesota.
• And Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Purdue, Indiana and Illinois.


What this mean for Michigan?  They would play Nebraska, Iowa, MSU and OSU every year and maybe miss PSU and Wisconsin.   It also means that Ohio State has a pretty easy road each year to the Michigan game with only Penn State and Wisconsin the only "tough" teams in their division.
