The Big Ten conference has been very confusing and hard to predict this season. I am not sure anyone thought Wisconsin and Michigan would find themselves at the bottom of the conference at this point in the season. Here is what the standing look like right now:

1) Penn State:  9-0 (5-0)
2) Michigan State:  8-2 (5-1)
3) Ohio State:  7-2 (4-1)
4) Northwestern:  7-2 (3-2)
5) Minnesota:  7-2 (3-2)
6) Illinois:  5-4 (3-3)
7) Iowa:  5-4 (2-3)
8) Indiana:  3-6 (1-4)
9) Purdue:  3-6 (1-4)
10) Michigan:  2-7 (1-4)
11) Wisconsin:  4-5 (1-5)

Here at The Silver Bullet, we were not much better than anyone else at predicting the standings. I checked out our Big Ten Predictions from July, and this is what they looked like (my predictions for Minnesota and Iowa are pretty hilarious!):

So, what do the next few weeks hold for the Big Ten? No one knows! The Big Ten is down for sure though, and the standing show that the conference has some work to do to get back on top!
