The Big Ten championship race is now officially down to three teams after the events of Week 12. As Iowa put its hands on the West division crown with another defensive victory, all eyes have now locked in on next week’s Michigan vs. Ohio State matchup to determine the East crown.
Both the Wolverines and Buckeyes won their final matchup before their rivalry game next week, and both remain undefeated with the College Football Playoff within reach once again. Have both played themselves into a position to reach the playoff and give the Big Ten two bids for a second straight season? That remains to be seen.
Elsewhere, Penn State did enough to get by and keep their New Years Six hopes alive and Northwestern clinched bowl eligibility.
Here is a look at everything that happened in the Big Ten this weekend and a look at the updated Big Ten division standings and bowl eligibility tracker with one week remaining.
