Michigan Wolverines one of three Big Ten teams in top 10

The Big Ten East division has consistently proven itself to be one of the premier divisions in college football, and this is evident year after year. In the previous season, the division boasted three teams with impressive records: Penn State (11-2), Michigan (13-1), and Ohio State (11-2). Each team made significant impacts on a national scale.

Notably, both Michigan and Ohio State reached the College Football Playoff, while Penn State emerged victorious in the Rose Bowl against the formidable No. 8 Utah, the PAC-12 Champions.

This year, the Big Ten East continues to demonstrate its strength as Ohio State (3rd), Michigan (4th), and Penn State (T-8th) all secure spots among the top 10 teams with the best odds to win the national championship. This achievement underscores the division’s collective prowess and serves as a testament to its overall competitiveness.
