Who the is the best team in the Big Ten is crystallized on Saturday? The big question is how good is the rest of the conference?
MIchigan Wolverines
Remember when people thought the Wolverines were in trouble when they lost to Notre Dame to open the season? They've reeled off eight straight wins since that loss, including a 42-7 win over #14 Penn State. They're the best in the conference right now bar none.
Ohio State Buckeyes
The Buckeyes aren't quite as unbeatable as they looked three weeks ago, but this is still a very good team that still has a very good chance to go to the Big Ten title game. They'll need to knock off Michigan to do it, but that's not necessarily an impossible task.
Northwestern Wildcats
Yep. Northwestern is the third best team in the Big Ten right now. That's despite being 0-3 outside the conference. Their only B1G loss is to Michigan and it appears they're headed to the Big Ten Title game.
