Four years ago, entering the final week of the college football regular season, the Big Ten didn’t have any team ranked in the top 10 of the BCS standings.
The SEC had four of the top seven slots with Alabama (2), Georgia (3), Florida (4) and LSU (7). Ohio State was undefeated but ineligible for the postseason, so Nebraska was the highest-ranked Big Ten team, at No. 14.
No wonder this feels like a dream season for Big Ten fans.
The SEC has undefeated Alabama sitting at No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings, but the next SEC team on that list is No. 13 Auburn.
Meanwhile, the Big Ten is the one with four teams ranked in the top seven of the CFP rankings — Ohio State (2), Michigan (3), Wisconsin (6) and Penn State (7).
All four of those teams have a legitimate chance to make the playoff, and No. 16 Nebraska still could reach the Big Ten title game. Keep in mind, the Cornhuskers haven’t won a conference title since Frank Solich’s team won the Big 12 in 1999...
