How did Big Ten football fare in Week 9?
During the 2023 campaign, the Big Ten has been home to some of the best teams in college football. After Week 9, the conference has two undefeated teams in Michigan and Ohio State. Six teams also have at least six wins, including Rutgers.
As the conference looks to continue its exciting play, there are a few matchups this week for fans to mark on their calendars. Ohio State will put its undefeated record on the line on Saturday when they take on Rutgers. Penn State is also set to face a Maryland team with five wins.
Although the regular season begins to wind down, this weekend’s games could impact bowl eligibility. That should create some exciting moments with a lot on the line. Regardless of the outcomes, Big Ten football will again take center stage this week.
