The home teams did pretty well this week, going 9-3. There were a few surprises this week:
- Ohio State lost at Nebraska on Monday. That loss was OSU’s 4th in a row, after starting the season with 15 straight wins.
- Wisconsin lost at Minnesota on Wednesday. That was Wisconsin’s 3rd loss in a row, after starting the season 16-0, and ranked as high as #3.
- Michigan won at Michigan State on Saturday. MSU hardly ever loses at home, and they were ranked #3, while Michigan was ranked #21 in their first week back in the Top 25.
- Minnesota lost at Nebraska on Sunday. Minnesota has beaten Ohio State and Wisconsin (in Minneapolis), but it’s tough to win on the road in the Big Ten.
