Big Ten football power rankings, Week 13: The Game looms large
By Shane Lunnen
The Big Ten championship race is starting and heading into a huge Week 13 here are the latest edition of the Big Ten football power rankings.
What a fantastic Saturday in college football. There were upsets, near upsets, and plenty of exciting football to watch from noon all the way through late at night. Week 12 sets up an exciting Week 13 with regular-season finales.
Finally, after weeks of craziness, we have clarity in the Big Ten Football West division. Only three teams remain alive and it all could be over this Friday when Iowa hosts Nebraska. If Nebraska pulls the upset, Purdue and Illinois will still be alive heading into Saturday.
In the Big Ten East division, both Ohio State and Michigan survived close calls. Their massive matchup next week in Columbus will be must-see tv and has the potential to be the most-watched game of the regular season.
Heading into the final week of the regular season, there are nine Big Ten football teams bowl-eligible with the potential to have a tenth team get there.
This week’s results provided shakeups up and down the power rankings. Let’s see where every Big Ten football team stands heading into the final week.
