Big Ten Football: Week 7 Power Rankings

10. Northwestern

Week 7 result – 54-40 win over Michigan State

Well would you look at Northwestern taking advantage of weak teams with big names. With back to back wins against Michigan State and Iowa, the Wildcats are starting to make noise.

No, they aren’t making a top bowl, or winning the Big Ten. What they are doing is turning a bust season into something to build from. This team can take wins against Michigan State and Iowa and use that as momentum for next year.

Their next three games are tough, facing Indiana, Ohio State, and Wisconsin. If they can win at least one of those games they’ll really turn this season into a successful one.
