Quote from ESPN article
“An upside-down Big Ten
This is the topsy-turvy world of the 2020 Big Ten -- a conference left with no season in August, resurrected in October and now featuring front-runners Indiana and Northwestern.
Wait, what?
Yep, the Hoosiers are 3-0 in conference play for the first time since 1988, and Northwestern is 3-0 to start a Big Ten season for the first time since 2000. It is the first time in the league's 124-year history that both squads are 3-0 in league play together.
Of course, that is just the tip of the iceberg. Add in Penn State's embarrassment Saturday, and we are living in a universe where Northwestern, Indiana, Purdue and Maryland are a combined 10-1, while blue bloods Michigan, Penn State, Iowa and Nebraska are a combined 2-9.
Add in that Rutgers scored 27 points against Ohio State (more than in their past four meetings combined), and this is truly the strangest Big Ten season ever.”
