While Ohio State is the No. 4 team in the country, the next-highest Big Ten team coming into this week was the Wisconsin Badgers who were ranked No. 6. However, they lost to Illinois 24-23 on Saturday, who came into the game with a 2-4 record.
So, I am starting to wonder when these other Big Ten teams will start pulling their own weight to make this conference respectable?
In addition to Wisconsin blowing it against the Fighting Illini, Michigan was ranked No. 7 in the Preseason AP Top-25 Rankings, but as most of you know they barely beat Army in week two and then were flat-out embarrassed by Wisconsin 35-14 in their third game of the season.
