The home teams did pretty well this week, going 8-3. There were a few surprises this week:
- Michigan State lost at Minnesota on Monday. Minnesota may be an actual contender this season.
- Illinois lost at Purdue on Wednesday. Purdue is projected to finish near the bottom of the Big Ten, and Illinois is ranked. It just goes to show how tough it is to win on the road in the Big Ten.
- Ohio State lost at Illinois on Saturday. True, they were both ranked, but Illinois got beat 3 days earlier by Purdue. Just another example of how tough it is to win on the road in the Big Ten.
