That was one crazy weekend of B1G football!
We are now leaving Week 8 of the college football season with another week of thrilling action in the rear view mirror. Michigan and Michigan State squared off in the traditional, in-state rivalry with the Wolverines dominating defensively in a 21-7 victory.
Elsewhere around the conference, Nebraska picked up its first win under Scott Frost while Purdue shocked the nation with an upset of No. 2 Ohio State! It was an emotionally charged night for the Boilermakers, and they channeled it all into a 49-20 rout of the Buckeyes.
As the dust continues to settle from Week 8, here is a look at the B1G teams ranked on ESPN’s updated Football Power Index Top 25:
4. Michigan (7-1, LW: No. 6)
