Big Ten power rankings after Week 13: Championship Game is set

The king of the conference is clear.

Now that Week 13 is in the books, only two Big Ten teams will play next week and those who are bowl eligible will have to wait another week to find out where they’re playing.

That means you, Ohio State.

Michigan football went into the Horseshoe and ultimately dismantled the Buckeyes, 45-23, while Penn State handled Michigan State, Maryland blanked Rutgers, Illinois throttled Northwestern, Purdue pulled away from Indiana, Minnesota got another win over Wisconsin, and Iowa was upset by Nebraska. As a result of this week’s contests, the Wolverines will meet the Boilermakers in Indianapolis on Saturday.

That means this is our final Big Ten power rankings of the season. Here is where each team stands.
