| 7 |  | Michigan | Rarely do MSU and OSU fans come together to cheer for Michigan. Michigan let them down against IU. | 7 |
| 8 |  | Ohio State | Ohio State was often overshadowed by others in the Big Ten, but over the season this group turned into a team. | 10 |
| 9 |  | Michigan State | The Spartans did not get the help they needed from Michigan, but they took care of business against UW and NU. | 13 |

| 25 |  | Wisconsin | Throw out that Senior Day loss to Purdue and the Badgers do not have a bad loss on their resume. | 24 |
