The Big Ten has been full of surprises this season. Penn State and Michigan are a combined 1-7. Last week we took the Nittany Lions out of the bowl projections. This week we take the Wolverines out after they looked absolutely terrible at home against Wisconsin on Saturday night. The top of the conference is no less surprising. It is no shock that Ohio State is undefeated, but this weekend they face off fellow unbeaten Indiana. In the West, the story is exactly the same. Wisconsin is 2-0 and that is not a huge surprise either, but this weekend they take on a 4-0 Northwestern team for the top spot in the Big Ten West.
