Big Ten Football Power Rankings (Week 9): Can Indiana Compete for a Big Ten Title?
Is it time to start talking about Indiana as a potential Big Ten title contender? There are still five games remaining on the schedule, but the Hoosiers looked like a real threat to the conference after a 56-7 win over Nebraska on Saturday.
The schedule is favorable, with Ohio State being the only upper-echelon team left on the docket. So, yes, Curt Cignetti could have IU challenging for a College Football Playoff spot in Year 1.
Outside of Bloomington, both Wisconsin and Michigan State are on the rise. The Badgers have pummeled their last three opponents while the Spartans picked up a huge win over Iowa.
USC, on the other hand, is in complete free-fall mode after dropping to 1-4 on the season. But that’s enough about what happened in Week 8, let’s dive into the power rankings.
