Around the Big Ten, Week Three: A tale of two divisions

The Big Ten East may very well be the best conference in football. Among its seven teams, there are three ranked in the top 25, six who have already scored 100 points on the year, two with conference wins and six who are unbeaten through Week Three. All in all, the division sits at 20-1 and could theoretically send two teams to the College Football Playoff (assuming Michigan is unbeaten heading to Columbus on November 26). Unfortunately, there are two divisions in the Big Ten, and the Big Ten West seems to forget how the game of football works on a weekly basis.
