Ahead of a pivotal weekend for many teams, Parker Gabriel’s power rankings take the pulse of the Big Ten | Football



Maryland lost its third straight and hasn’t scored more than 17 points in that stretch. Mike Locksley’s team will have a chance to get back in the win column Saturday against Indiana, but then has Penn State, Michigan State and Michigan. That’s tough duty.

11. Nebraska (3-5, 1-4)

The Huskers have lost two straight and four of five overall. They come off the bye week as a home favorite against Purdue. Scott Frost’s team likely needs to win three of its final four — against the Boilermakers, OSU, UW and Iowa — to avoid a fifth consecutive year without a bowl berth.

12. Northwestern (3-4, 1-3)

Previous: 13. LW: L 33-7 at Michigan.

No upset here on an otherwise crazy day in college football. The Wildcats mustered just 10 first downs and got outscored 17-0 in the third quarter after getting to halftime within three points. Now Pat Fitzgerald’s team hosts Minnesota to close out October before beginning November with Iowa and Wisconsin.

13. Indiana (2-5, 0-4)

Previous: 10. LW: L 54-7 vs. Ohio State.

The Hoosiers’ miserable autumn continued with a blowout loss to the Buckeyes. Any hope of getting the ship righted and competing for the division is gone, and now even qualifying for a bowl game feels like a tall task. Indiana has Maryland on Saturday before opening November at Michigan.
