The final weekend of October saw some interesting developments around the active Big Ten teams this weekend. Penn State was given a good scare at home by Indiana, Ohio State managed to get out of Wisconsin with a win and we now have a four-team tie for first place in the Big Ten West as we head into the final month of the regular season.
Oh, and don’t look now but Nebraska and Northwestern could each be going to a bowl game this season!
Michigan was one of the team taking the week off, so the Wolverines didn’t get one more chance to pummel an opponent before the first release of this season’s College Football Playoff rankings. But Ohio State should be feeling good about its position in the upcoming playoff rankings, and Penn State may benefit from an upset by Kansas over Oklahoma in the Big 12.
Here is a look at everything that went down in the Big Ten in Week 9.
