Big Ten Football Power Rankings, Week 15: Ohio State a playoff lock?
The Iowa Hawkeyes have had a quietly good season. While the Iowa offense has struggled, their defense has been one of the best in the conference all season long. The Hawkeyes have a good chance of finishing the 2019 season with 10 wins, in a season in which they’ve been over shadowed by the rest of top teams on the conference.
2020 Prediction: 8-4 (5-4)
The Michigan Wolverines are one of the most confusing programs in college football today. They recruit well, they have the coaching staff and they have the schedule to build an impressive resume. But for the second year in a row, the Wolverines were embarrassed by Ohio State, having some wondering what happened to the team leading up to their matchup.
Regardless, it’s not time to panic in Ann Arbor, so to Wolverine Nation and the rest of the college football world, calm down. This game was more of a result of how great of a team Ohio State is.
2020 Prediction: 10-2 (7-2)
The Minnesota Golden Gophers fell just short of the conference title game but this season has been a remarkable one for a team that is a year or two ahead of schedule. And don’t think this season was a fluke. PJ Fleck is building something at Minnesota and this is the start of something special for the Big Ten West.
2020 Prediction: 10-2 (7-2)
