After Michigan football took care of business against Rutgers, all eyes turned to the Michigan State-Nebraska and Ohio State-Minnesota games, as both the Buckeyes and Spartans need to lose sometime if the Wolverines want a shot at competing in the Big Ten Championship.
In what would end up being one of the craziest games of the the weekend, Nebraska did knock off Michigan State, handing the Spartans their first loss of the season.
It’s a great start, but only half of the barrier actually fell.
Michigan State still holds the head-to-head tiebreaker over Michigan, but if Ohio State beats the Spartans in two weeks, and Michigan then beats Ohio State, the Wolverines are in (assuming they win the rest of their games).
