How did Big Ten football fare in Week 12 of the college football season?
As the college football regular season continued to wind down, the Big Ten conference was filled with thrilling performances in week 12.
Ohio State and Michigan continued their undefeated seasons with wins over conference opponents. While they continued to captivate the football world, they are not the only teams finding success. Seven other teams in the conference have at least six, including Rutgers, Iowa, Northwestern, and Wisconsin.
This weekend featured a few intriguing matchups, such as Michigan and Maryland. The Terrapins almost shocked the sports world as they only lost by seven points to the third-best team in the country.
Additionally, Wisconsin and Nebraska provided plenty of fireworks. After four hard-fought quarters, Wisconsin secured its sixth win of the season in overtime on a three-yard run by Braelon Allen.
With only a few days left in the college football season, the next week is expected to be full of unforgettable moments.
