While Penn State had another dominant victory, the Big Ten West is officially up for grabs

Only two weeks remain in the 2022 college football season, and we still don’t have a clear picture of who will be in the Big Ten title game.

Ohio State and Michigan are officially on a collision course for who will represent the East in the championship in Week 13, as both teams should be 11-0 heading into the contest in Columbus.

The West was turned upside down (again) as Purdue knocked off Illinois this past week. There are now four teams in the West who have a 4-3 conference record. While tiebreakers will eventually play a role, this is an interesting storyline to follow the next two weeks.

Penn State made quick work of Maryland, putting the Nittany Lions one step closer to getting back to a New Year’s Six Bowl game for the first time since 2019.

The next two weeks should be super exciting as we find out who will battle for the Big Ten championship in Indianapolis.

Here’s where things stand in the Big Ten after 11 weeks of action.
