ESPN’s FPI updates Top 25, where every B1G team is ranked following Rivalry Week

The regular season is in the books.

A wild and whacky 2021 campaign came to a close over the weekend, providing plenty of entertainment to round out a fun season. The B1G was filled with drama, with Michigan knocking off Ohio State, Iowa overcoming a large deficit against Nebraska and Minnesota upending Wisconsin.

Results from those 3 games set up a Michigan-Iowa B1G Championship Game next weekend in Indianapolis.

Following another crazy weekend, ESPN’s Football Power Index updated its Top 25. As has been the case all season long, there are some interesting rankings.

Here’s a look at the update Top 25 heading into championship weekend:
