Last week, the debriefing was on the state of the Big Ten East. Outside of the Ohio State Buckeyes, the East had an identity crisis. Penn State and Michigan State nearly lost, and Michigan, well, did.
This week, the first part of the statement is true: Ohio State again looked really good—like, College Football Playoff good. But instead of the East, it’s the Big Ten West that doesn’t know what’s going on.
The upset of the weekend for the Big Ten occurred when Purdue found a way to lose to Eastern Michigan on a last-second field, 20-19.
