As division races intensify, Parker Gabriel checks in on each Big Ten team in his power rankings | Football



10. Maryland (5-4, 2-4)

Previous: 9. LW: L 31-14 vs. Penn State.

The Terps have lost four out of their past five and now face Michigan State and Michigan the next two weeks. Nothing’s impossible, of course, but Mike Locksley’s team may need a win Nov. 27 at Rutgers to get bowl eligible after starting the year 4-0.

11. Nebraska (3-7, 1-6)

Previous: 12. LW: L 26-17 vs. Ohio State.

The Huskers have played four teams in last week’s top 10 close this year, but the bottom line is they’re 1-6 in Big Ten play and have lost six of their past seven overall. NU has the week off and then closes with Wisconsin and Iowa.

12. Rutgers (4-5, 1-5)

Previous: 11. LW: L 52-3 vs. Wisconsin.

It was a rough day at the office for the Scarlet Knights. Greg Schiano’s team still has a shot at a bowl berth with Indiana, Penn State and Maryland left on the docket.

13. Northwestern (3-6, 1-5)

Previous: 13. LW: L 17-12 vs. Iowa.

The Wildcats have struggled offensively for most of the season, and that was the case again Saturday against the Hawkeyes. The bad news? Now they have to deal with Wisconsin’s defense this weekend. Senior NU linebacker Chris Bergin leads all Big Ten tacklers with 108 this year (12 per game).
