With Three Weeks Left, The Big Ten West Is Still Up For Grabs

The race for the Big Ten East is receiving considerable media coverage, and with good reason. The divisional battle includes three Top Ten teams in Ohio State, Michigan, and Michigan State, all of whom have a legitimate chance to reach the College Football Playoff should they win out. Yet the battle for the Big Ten West is shaping up to be just as chaotic. With three weeks remaining in conference play, Iowa, Minnesota, Purdue, and Wisconsin currently hold a four-way tie for first place in the division, and the next three weeks will decide which of these teams earns a trip to Indianapolis and an opportunity to play for a Big Ten Championship.
