Illinois’ loss complicates Big Ten West race

Penn State is out of contention despite blowing out Indiana 45-14. Two other conference opponents are right atop the Big Ten and each have a shot at a College Football Playoff berth this winter.

Ohio State and Michigan remain undefeated. Michigan beat Rutgers 52-17. Ohio State struggled against Northwestern, but won 21-7. The Big Ten East champion is likely to be decided when Ohio and Michigam play each other in the regular-season finale.

Illinois lost to Michigan State 23-15 on Saturday. The loss complicates the Big Ten West race. Iowa's 24-3 win over Purdue and Minnesota's 20-13 victory over Nebraska put them in second place.

Maryland missed the cut to be ranked in the College Football Playoff Top 25 last week. The Terrapins lost 23-10 to Wisconsin on Saturday. Penn State will look to knock off the Terps at home this week to finish the regular season with just two losses.

Betting the Big Ten: Week 6

We righted the ship in Week Five. Penn State covered in the most dubious of fashions, scoring in garbage time on a fake kneel to cover the spread. Indiana and Maryland easily hit the over, while Purdue showed the rest of the conference it could still be a factor in the Big Ten West. Somehow, some way, Michigan State and Iowa didn't hit the under.…

Minnesota gained only 47 rushing yards on 26 carries in a…
