ESPN's FPI updates Top 25, where every B1G team is ranked after Week 12
This should be fun.
Even though Week 12 left something to be desired in the B1G — 5 of 7 games were decided by 18 points or more — it does set up an incredibly intriguing Rivalry Week slate next weekend. Division titles, bowl eligibility and a whole bunch of trophies are going to be on the line across the conference.
It should be an incredibly entertaining way to round out the Thanksgiving holiday and put a bow on what has been one of the more enjoyable, and insane, college football regular seasons since 2007. Too bad it’s coming to an end, right?
Sunday morning, ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) updated its Top 25 rankings and also reranked every team in college football. This week, 5 teams from the B1G worked their way into the Top 25. Here’s a look at what it looks like following Week 12 action:
#1 Georgia
#2 Ohio State
#3 Alabama
#4 Michigan
#5 Oklahoma
#6 Notre Dame
#7 Oklahoma State
#8 Cincinnati
#9 Iowa State
#10 Clemson
#11 Wisconsin
#12 Pitt
#13 Utah
#14 Texas A&M

#17 Baylor
#18 Ole Miss
#19 Oregon
#20 Auburn
#21 Appalachian State

Because the FPI ranks all 130 teams at the FBS level, we’re also able to see where all 14 B1G teams stack up. Here’s where each squad stands entering the final week of the regular season:
#2 Ohio State
#4 Michigan
#11 Wisconsin
#15 Penn State
#24 Michigan State
#26 Iowa
