Week 9 Big Ten Football power rankings: Changes in the West
Ohio State held off Penn State Football, but the biggest moves in the Big Ten last Saturday came on the Western side of the bracket
Once again, the standings in the Big Ten continued to shuffle, as new candidates emerge in the West and the East has an intriguing front-runner.
Michigan State had the performance of the week as they came back to defeat Michigan 37-33. Ohio State held off Penn State Football in another notable showdown, while Minnesota continues its win streak.
With only four games left to play before the matchup in Indianapolis, things are certainly heating up.
Indiana being the worst team in the conference was not something many people expected, yet it’s looking like that will be the case in 2021.
Without their top two quarterbacks, the Hoosiers fell to Maryland 38-35 on Saturday. It was a valiant effort, led by third-string quarterback Donaven McCulley, who went 14-25 for 242 yards and two touchdowns. The freshman showed signs of things to come, which is promising for a team looking for any positives from this year.
With a game against Michigan up next and a matchup with Minnesota later in the year, eight losses look to be the floor for this team.
