Big Ten Football: Week 8 Power Rankings

7. Northwestern

Week 8 result – 24-14 win over Indiana

Northwestern has turned its season around quickly over the past few weeks. After starting 1-3, the Wildcats are now looking like a bowl game contender with three straight wins.

With a win over Indiana, Northwestern has now taken control of the bottom half of the Big Ten. Not even Mike Greenberg believed Northwestern would be 4-3 with wins over Iowa, Indiana, and Michigan State. But here we are, and the Wildcats are slowly working their way up the Big Ten.

You can’t chalk this season up as a win yet. But if the Wildcats continue to win, and maybe pull off a 7-5 record, Northwestern fans will be more than happy.
