Big Ten playoff tracker: Four contenders creating plenty of intrigue

Michigan's stunning last-second loss to Iowa on Saturday didn't drop the Wolverines in the latest College Football Playoff ranking. If anything, the defeat only added to the league intrigue down the stretch. As the final two weeks of the regular season approach, four Big Ten teams remain firmly in the hunt.

Ohio State moved past Michigan in the CFP poll, but they will settle which is better on the field Nov. 26 in Columbus. Oddly enough, "The Game" might not even feature the Big Ten East representative in the league title game. That distinction could belong to Penn State if the Nittany Lions win out and Ohio State beats Michigan, among other possible scenarios.
