Big Ten Power Rankings: Week 8 Recap

Find Week 7’s rankings here.

1. (Last Week: 1) Ohio State (5-0), DNP, Next Week: vs. No. 14 Northwestern

Ohio State was forced to cancel their rivalry game against Michigan due to positive coronavirus cases in the Wolverines’ program. The Buckeyes will play Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship game this upcoming weekend after the conference voted to allow the Buckeyes to play in the game despite playing fewer than six games.

The Big Ten has announced that it has removed the minimum six-game requirement to be eligible for the conference's title game.
