Standings
Here are the current Big Ten standings, after Week #8:
| Team (AP Rank) | Big Ten | Overall | ||||
Wins | Losses | Percent | Wins | Losses | Percent | |
| Indiana (#1) | 12 | 2 | 0.857 | 24 | 3 | 0.889 |
| Michigan State (#4) | 11 | 4 | 0.733 | 22 | 6 | 0.786 |
| Michigan (#7) | 10 | 4 | 0.714 | 23 | 4 | 0.852 |
| Wisconsin (#19) | 10 | 4 | 0.714 | 19 | 8 | 0.704 |
| Ohio State (#18) | 10 | 5 | 0.667 | 20 | 7 | 0.741 |
| Illinois | 7 | 8 | 0.467 | 20 | 9 | 0.690 |
| Minnesota | 6 | 8 | 0.429 | 18 | 9 | 0.667 |
| Iowa | 6 | 8 | 0.429 | 17 | 10 | 0.630 |
| Purdue | 6 | 8 | 0.429 | 13 | 14 | 0.481 |
| Nebraska | 4 | 10 | 0.286 | 13 | 14 | 0.481 |
| Northwestern | 4 | 11 | 0.267 | 13 | 15 | 0.464 |
| Penn State | 0 | 14 | 0.000 | 8 | 18 | 0.308 |
With 2 weeks left in the regular season, Indiana is in the driver’s seat for the title, but any of the teams with 4 losses (Michigan State, Michigan, and Wisconsin) could still share the title. Indiana still has 3 tough games left (Minnesota (A), Ohio State (H), and Michigan (A)). If they lose 2 of those 3, they will probably end up sharing the title.
