As we enter the final two weeks of the regular season, Michigan leads the B1G East and Northwestern sits atop the B1G West.

That also applies to graduation-success rates.

On Wednesday, the NCAA released the graduation-success rates for college athletics. Instead of listing all of the participants, we’ve decided to break it down to just the B1G.

Since we didn’t break it down by division, Northwestern and Michigan aren’t technically No. 1 and No. 2. The Wolverines come in at No. 3 with Minnesota holding that No. 2 spot.

The latest report measures graduation-success rates for student-athletes entering school from 2008-2011. Here’s a look at how the B1G football teams rank.

  • Northwestern: 99%
  • Minnesota: 89%
  • Michigan: 87%
  • Wisconsin: 86%
  • Maryland: 84%
  • Indiana: 83%
  • Nebraska: 82%
  • Michigan State: 82%
  • Penn State: 82%
  • Illinois: 81%
  • Iowa: 80%
  • Rutgers: 78%
  • Purdue: 77%
  • Ohio State: 64%
