Big ten standings: The big story this week is back to back wins for Indiana propelling them into the leaders division discussion. A win for the Hoosiers at home against the Badgers next weekend puts Indiana in the drivers seat in that division. If Nebraska would have lost to the Spartans, this would have started to get crazy in the legends division, but the Huskers hung on and are still in good position to come away with that division. We had a couple eliminations this week as well, lets take a look:

Legends division
1. Nebraska (4-1)
2. Michigan (4-1)
3. Northwestern (3-2)
4. Iowa (2-3)
5. Michigan st (2-4) E
6. Minnesota (1-4) E

Leaders division
1. Wisconsin (3-2)
2. Indiana (2-3)
3. Purdue (0-5) E
4. Illinois (0-5) E

Only six teams still have Rose Bowl hopes, and most surprising among them is the Indiana Hoosiers. If the Badgers win Saturday, they will officially clinch a spot in the Big Ten championship game, if Indiana wins, they will have the same record, and the Badgers still have to play Ohio st and Penn st so itd be very hard for them to catch up, so its pretty safe to say the winner of this saturdays game will be in Indianapolis in December.
