Oregon Ducks and Michigan State High on BTN List ‘Top 50 Big Ten Games of 2014’
The Pac-12 Conference and Big Ten Conference will be hosting their respective media days in the coming weeks with players and coaches talking about the upcoming season similar to the SEC which is holding their Media Days as we speak. One person who is not afraid to share his opinion is Tom Dienhart from the Big Ten Network, who recently released his look at the Top 50 Games for the Big Ten Conference this season. There is no real surprise on the list, but at number two he has the Michigan State game against the Oregon Ducks on September sixth. Going in we know this is an important game for both teams as it will likely vault the winner closer to a top four ranking early in the season.
