1)Hoosiers idle but here until tOSU can thrash the weasels
2)Bucks - It's been a long time since we saw Ohio State break a sweat, but now comes the mental block party of the schedule All that’s left on the schedule is taking down 9-2 Michigan in the Big House, something they haven’t done in four seasons.
3)Ducks - They took care of business against the Trojans and notched their best victory of the season. Linebacker Bryce Boettcher was the star, amassing 13 total tackles and running in a one-yard touchdown on senior day. A win over Washington next week and Oregon will be 11-1 and have a spot in the CFP. It's now simple heading into the game against Washington; win and you're in. Lose and sweat out Selection Sunday.
4)M* - It’s essentially a plug-and-play for the Wolverines running backs, as they lost starter Justice Haynes to a season-ending injury and backup Jordan Marshall missed this game due to injury as well. Yet junior third-stringer Bryson Kuzdzal carried the ball 20 times for 100 yards and three touchdowns.tOSU should have a line like that. M* didn’t commit a single turnover after committing five last week. They still have a glimmer of hope to make the College Football Playoff if they can knock off Ohio State.
5)USC - USC's struggles to beat ranked teams on the road continued against Oregon. The Trojans playoff hopes are wiped away and they will look to finish off their regular season with nine wins, the most since coach Lincoln Riley's first season there in 2022. The Trojans' offensive firepower was on display in Eugene, as quarterback Jayden Maiava passed for 306 yards.But the deficit in the trenches was just too much to overcome
6)Huskies - They rolled the Bruins by 34 points thanks to four total touchdowns from quarterback Demond Williams Jr. and forcing three UCLA turnovers. Washington, after a dispiriting loss to Wisconsin three weeks ago, have followed that up with a pair of blowout victories as they head into their season finale with Oregon @ Home. Though they won’t make the CFP, they have a chance to play spoiler against their hated rival.
7)Iowa - The Hawkeyes eeked out a win over the Spartans, scoring 13 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to avoid a devastating loss at home. The defense simply didn’t have enough answers for the opposing passing attack, resulting in Iowa taking a deficit into the final quarter. They are a level below the top couple teams in the Big Ten, but have proven they can hang with anyone else in the conference and deserve a top ranking into their final regular season game. I'd like to see them and the Huskies play on a nuetral field
8)Illinios - A disappointing season for Illinois got even more disappointing with a loss to Wisconsin. Hate to rank them here but the rest have been just as woeful and they have 7 wins. Illini had just gotten ranked for the first time in nearly a month and wasted the opportunity, getting completely outworked in the trenches. This just doesn’t look like a motivated team and, despite the high level of talent on the roster, is well deserving of their lackluster 4-4 record in the Big Ten.
9) Wildcats - see above they won but after 3 straight losses. The Wildcats got back in the win column, narrowly beating the Golden Gophers
