The college football landscape saw a chaotic Week 6, and as a result, some Big Ten programs have officially punched their postseason tickets. Two teams from the conference reached bowl eligibility with wins over the weekend, while a handful of others inched nearer to that benchmark.
All eyes will be on the Big Ten in Week 7 when Indiana welcomes Ohio State in a rematch of last season's conference championship game, with first place in the league hanging in the balance. Additionally, UCLA and Wisconsin will put their unblemished Big Ten records on the line when they square off next weekend.
Below is an updated look at the Big Ten standings and the latest postseason eligibility tracker following Week 6.
