You Bet Your Ass: Week 13

We've reached the third to last weekend of the Big Ten season, allowing me to bust out one of my favorite words: antepenultimate. Not much has changed at the top of the standings, as Brandon continues his season-long reign while Jim, Trevor, and Matt fight to catch him. Wes and I keep hovering in that middle ground, while Aaron sadly fell back to the abyss. And poor, poor Bryce. So many failed $100 bets.

Cain: If Minnesota can replicate what Wisconsin did and build off last week, they'll take this one.
