There was one upset last weekend in the Big Ten. Michigan State went to Illinois and took down the Fighting Illini in stunning fashion.
While Ohio State gained the win against Northwestern, it wasn’t pretty. The Buckeyes weren’t able to throw the ball in gusty winds and the run game failed to do much against the Wildcats. But the Buckeyes prevailed, 21-7.
Once again, there are no top-25 games in the conference for Week 11. But there are a few intriguing story lines.
Illinois has a one-game lead in the West division. There is a four-team tie for second behind the Fighting Illini. Purdue is one of those teams, and it faces Illinois this weekend. Iowa and Wisconsin, the other teams in second place, face each other.
Here are my predictions for every Big Ten football game this weekend.
