That’s it, folks! Time is up, no more Big Ten football!
For the 14 teams in the Big Ten Conference, they had 13 weeks to show who they were as a program. Twelve games to prove to the nation why they deserved a spot in the postseason, why they deserved to go bowling, and possibly, a spot in the Big Ten Championship.
In the last year of Big Ten football, before some massive changes were implemented, it was pure chaos. In the East, Ryan Day still can’t beat Michigan, James Franklin can’t beat them or Ohio State, and Jim Harbaugh wasn’t even allowed to be in the stadium at the end of the season.
The entire season culminated with The Game, which Michigan won for a third time. It was a fantastic scene where the Wolverines paid tribute to their fallen hero Harbaugh. Don’t worry folks, he ain’t dead, just suspended.
Harbaugh will be back though in time for the Wolverines to take on the Hawkeyes. That’s right, it’s the Hawkeyes again in the Big Ten Championship game.
In a very uninspiring West division, the offensive nightmare known as Iowa managed to win 10 games and make it back to the big dance. While they were handicapped in part by their own doing, Brian Ferentz, Iowa still persevered through multiple huge injury losses. Can they provide one last bit of magic and keep Michigan out of the College Football Playoff?
It’s the last Big Ten Power Rankings before the postseason. Here we go!
