Seems like most of the BIG is in flux, with UM rising... I expected PSU and OSU to be much better than they have played thus far. OSU barely beat what is turning out to be a bad TCU team and got housed by a mediocre Purdue team. They also barely beat what looks like a mediocre PSU team (who, classically, cannot put teams away as seems to be Franklin's Achilles heel).
If UM gets through the gauntlet of Wisky, @sparty and PSU 3-0 (of which they are currently 2-0), they have a good shot at winning the BIG and going to the CFP - they just need to keep winning as they would only have Rutgers, Indy and OSU left (OSU being the only test left until the BIG Championship game).
UM's road win in Evanston is looking better and better these days...

The Michigan Wolverines appear to be the team to beat in the Big Ten.

The Michigan Wolverines appear to be the team to beat in the Big Ten. With Rutgers and Indiana coming up, the only team really left with a shot of beating the Wolverines is Ohio. And they haven't been looking too good lately... You never know in a rivalry game, but UM has a good chance to go to the BIG Championship and the CFP.

Purdue defeats Ohio State but gets routed by Minnesota. What's up with Purdue?

Purdue defeats Ohio State but gets routed by Minnesota. What's up with Purdue? The better question is, what's up with OSU? But Purdue definitely laid an egg against Minny. You never know with Minny though which team you are going to get.

Wisconsin is a major disappointment Let's not forget that they didn't have their starting QB who has been injured for a number of weeks now.

I expected them to finish stronger down the stretch - definitely disappointing.

Enjoyed seeing the Huskers outlast Michigan State. And of course really liked seeing Iowa get their offense rolling again. Only disappointment was Maryland not beating Ohio State.

The last 5 games have shown that Nebraska has gotten it's act together. They will have a tough task against Iowa next week in Iowa City.

Michigan vs Ohio State in Columbus next week. Both teams are 10-1. The difference is Michigan lost to non-conference opponent Notre Dame while Ohio State lost in an upset to Big Ten school Purdue.
