Big Ten winners, losers: Basketball schools rising as Michigan, Nebraska continue to fall

Things are starting to get weird in the Big Ten as the conference moves past the third week of the season.

Michigan football and Nebraska are down.

Indiana and Maryland are up.

Northwestern is undefeated. Penn State is winless.

Strange. Very strange.

We take a look at the conference’s winners and losers from the weekend below:

Entering this season, Mike Locksley’s career record would cause most people to blanch. In 46 games, he had steered his teams to victory only six times. He seemed destined this season to experience failure again, and when Maryland was drubbed by 40 points in its opener against Northwestern there was little doubt Locksley would add a slew of defeats to his loss column in 2020.
