The Big Ten certainly has had an interesting start to the 2017 season.

However, the third week of the college football season didn’t exactly provide much flair for the conference.

Maryland was on their bye week this past weekend as was Michigan State. Each of the four ranked Big Ten squads were in action, but they weren’t tested very much.

Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, and Wisconsin all won by double digits. The Nittany Lions even pitched a 56-0 shutout win over Georgia State under the lights.

Sometimes nonconference play doesn’t exactly offer exciting results. However, that will change very soon as Big Ten play begins as early as this coming weekend for some programs.
