Big Ten Football Power Rankings, Week 8: Hobbling to the finish

The Big Ten’s tumultuous regular season wrapped up on Saturday with some slip-n-slide action, COVID-conscious snowmen and an ill-advised celebration. As the season nears its close, here’s a look at the conference’s power rankings:

14. Purdue (2-4)

Last ranking: 14

Last result: Game at Indiana canceled due to COVID-19

Next: Game at Indiana canceled due to COVID-19

Purdue didn’t play last week’s battle for the Old Oaken Bucket against rival Indiana due to COVID-19, and, while the game was rescheduled for this weekend as a part of the Big Ten’s Champions Week, it was promptly canceled once again for the same reason.
