It's time to identify an All-Big Ten team comprised only of seniors. There were easy picks like Wisconsin offensive tackle Gabe Carimi and Michigan State linebacker Greg Jones, but several positions created some tough choices.
Reminder: This team includes only fourth-year or fifth-year seniors, not redshirt juniors.
Bowl performance is included in this rundown, if applicable.
In case you forgot, my All-Big Ten team included only 12 seniors, all of whom will appear below. I also selected 14 underclassmen.
Without further ado ...
