[Note - I was tempted to make the headline “NU Leads The Big Ten West” because technically, Northwestern won “The Battle for NU”. I couldn’t do it.]
We are two thirds the way through college football season and once again nearly nothing is what we thought it would be when the 2018 season started. The idea that Nebraska would have a losing streak and start out with the worst season in its history is easily the biggest shock of the season in the Big Ten conference.
Right now the Northwestern Wildcats lead the Big Ten West. They are at 5 – 1 in conference, ahead of Wisconsin, Iowa, and Purdue, who are all tied at 3 – 2.
