Big Ten football power rankings, Week 14: Michigan reigns as king

Hard to believe but the 2022 college football regular season has reached its conclusion. It was entertaining as always and now it is time to award conference championships, end of season awards and get to some bowl games.

Most of the Big Ten football season built up towards the big one in Columbus between Michigan and Ohio State. While most thought it would be a close game and either team could win, how the result played out was surprising. Michigan is once again heading to Indianapolis and looks like a lock for the College Football Playoff.

In the West division, it became crazy in November once Illinois started to lose games. Entering the final weekend, there were three teams still alive for the division crown and it was Purdue who emerged victorious. The unlikely Boilermakers will take on the Wolverines for the conference crown. If they can get the upset, a Rose Bowl trip for the first time in 22 years would await them.

With the regular season over, these are our final Big Ten football power rankings of the year. Where do all the teams fall to conclude? Read on to find out.
