SB Nation’s Week 3 Big Ten rankings put Indiana first, ahead of USC and Ohio State, after little movement as most teams wrapped nonconference play. The league went 1-2 in its notable games: Northwestern beat Colorado, while Maryland and Michigan State lost.
Northwestern is ninth after its 41-7 win over Colorado and visits Indiana on Friday. Other Week 4 games include USC against Oregon, Iowa at Michigan and Penn State against Wisconsin, which the author calls a step up in difficulty for Penn State.
