A day late, no dollar short. Sorry for the absence of these posts over the holidays, but on the bright side, there's been very little additions or subtractions in the conference over the past three weeks.
While not a ton of addition or subtraction, there was a fair amount of shuffling in the overall conference rankings, beginning with...
| Team | # of commits | Avg Rivals ranking | Avg 247 ranking | Avg Scout ranking | Avg ESPN ranking | Rivals team rank | 247 team rank | Scout team rank | recruiting rank in B1G |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ohio State | 21 | 3.62 | 3.71 | 3.9 | 3.81 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 1 |

Ohio State takes the top spot from the Wolverines for the first time this season, after being ranked ahead of their MHR in two of the three services' rankings. In addition, Nebraska vaulted from fifth to third, and PSU fell down to #7 in the rankings, once again behind Illinois. I'm not expecting much change over the next month, so this is likely where the rankings will end up--or close to it.
