Here is where the B1G teams are ranked:
- No. 6 – Wisconsin
- No. 10 – Iowa
- No. 14 – Rutgers
- No. 15 – Illinois
- No. 16 – Michigan
- No. 17 – Michigan State
- No. 19 – Northwestern
- No. 21 – Minnesota
- No. 25 – Ohio State
Early indications from Monday’s action is that there will be an even greater shakeup next week. Maryland upset No. 6 Wisconsin to start the evening while Minnesota is blowing out Michigan State in primetime.
At this point, it will be interesting to see how many losses the conference champion finishes with. The balance from top-to-bottom in the B1G remains impressive early on this season.
