The sands in the hourglass are beginning to run out in the 2023 college football season, and that means the games from here on out are going to take on more meaning with stakes that get higher and higher every week. The Big Ten race is no exception.
The East division seems pretty clear. Ohio State and Michigan are on top, with Penn State a game behind because of the loss in Columbus. All three won again on Saturday. One of the three big dogs of the league appears to be destined for the conference crown, with one or two having a shot to get into the College Football Playoff.
Meanwhile, the West couldn’t be messier. Iowa won a close one against Northwestern, but Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin lost. That means the Hawkeyes are in the driver’s seat again, but it’s a seat where the upholstery is hanging by a thread.
So, what does it all mean for our Big Ten power rankings this week? Here’s a look at who’s playing the best right now after Week 10 as we count down from last to first.
