Penn State football ended its season with a loss to Ole Miss on Saturday, and only the national championship game next Monday left in the 2023 season. It is a great time to take a look at the updated NET rankings for the Big Ten heading into the New Year and as the college basketball season ramps up.
The conference has had a solid start to the season, which includes 3 teams in this week’s USA TODAY Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll. Illinois (8th) and Wisconsin (21st) join No. 1 Purdue in this week’s edition. Michigan State, Ohio State, and Nebraska also received votes.
NET rankings mean more when Selection Sunday gets closer as it is the leading determining factor in determining Quad 1, 2, 3, or 4 wins and losses.
Without further ado, let’s dive into this week’s edition of the rankings and where all the Big Ten teams stand.
