Sadly for some, mercifully for others, the power rankings reach the final week with the usual suspects topping the list.
Michigan and Ohio State are so close they could be kissing cousins – despite struggling even to shake hands – but with the Wolverines and Buckeyes playing The Game, only one can claim bragging rights, while the other suffers in silence for a year.
After OSU and UM, Penn State is its normal next-level self, while Illinois gets to lament what could have been in a season that still exceeded expectations.
As for Iowa, the Hawkeyes might become the first Big Ten team to win its division without playing offense for most of the season.
