Big Ten Divisional Race Update

After a massive upset win by Illinois this past Saturday and a few other important moments and results, we take a moment to reflect on the current Big Ten standings and project who will meet in Indy.

Big Ten East

Presumptive Favorite: #3 Ohio State (7-0, 4-0)

The Buckeyes have blown through their competition thus far, including, of course, Northwestern. Justin Fields leads an explosive multidimensional offense. Chase Young’s defense has held teams to an average of 8 points per game. The Buckeyes still have matchups with Wisconsin, Penn State, and Michigan on their schedule, so they won’t be taking anything for granted.
