Well well well! Last week in the Big Ten made a couple of things abundantly clear when it comes to the title race, and beyond:
- It’s Minnesota’s division to lose.
- Michigan State’s 2021 may have been the anomaly, not 2020.
- Maryland may finish 4th in the division, if not 3rd —that is, if their injuries are not serious.
- The East is probably winning the conference again.
Ohio State and Minnesota put away their opponents before the first quarter ended (in entirely different ways), Michigan used a bit of fortune in escaping Maryland, and the rest of the Big Ten just went about their business as the conference played the last of their non-conference opponents.
