Big Ten Football: Week 6 Power Rankings

11. Northwestern

Week 6 result – DNP

Northwestern followed up their win over Iowa with a bye week before heading Michigan State. The way the Spartans have been playing the last three weeks, it could be another opportunity for the Wildcats to steal a win.

This team started off without making any real noise this year. They have a tough schedule remaining, and with a 2-3 record they aren’t going to have much chance to make a bowl. I wouldn’t call this season a lost cause. Just look at it as a stepping stone for a young team with some solid recruits.

If they can pull off a big win or two and finish the season strong, this team may be able to ride momentum into next season.
