Here's some info I put together for each Big Ten team for one of the game previews last season, updated to be current, illustrating how rare it is to have a double-digit winning streak in conference road games.

Here is each team's best streak of conference road victories:

TSUN:
17 - 1988-92, it ended with the 13-13 game which was, according to E. Gordon Gee, the "greatest victory"
10 - 1945-48
09 - 1929-33
08 - 1996-98
07 - 1971-72, 1973-74, 1977-79, and 1981-82

tOSU:
15 - 2005-current
12 - 1974-77 (including the 21-14 win at AA in '75)
09 - 1966-69 (ending in 24-12), and 1978-80
07 - 1954-56
07 - 1970-71

Mich St:
08 - 1965-67 (National Championship Bubba Smith/George Webster years)
08 - 1988-90

Penn St: (joined in 1993)
08 - 1993-95 (1994 was JoePa's last perfect season, but they finshed #2 to Nebraska, pre-BCS)

Illinois:
08 - 1918-20 (NC in 1919, with a 9-7 win on a FG with 8 seconds left over tOSU and Chic Harley in sesaon finale)
06 - 1982-83
06 - 1989-90

Minnesota:
07 - 1960-62 (National Championship in 1960)
05 - 1940-41 (National Champions both years)

Northwestern:
07 - 1929-31
06 - 1995-96 (didn't play tOSU either year)

Purdue:
07 - 1933-35

06 - 1979-80

Iowa:
06 - 1921-23
05 - 1956-67
05 - 1995-96
