The majority of the conference gears up for signing day next with an addition or two to their classes...except for Purdue, who added five this week. It didn't really do much for their overall rankings, though.

"Big Blue" once again takes over the top spot from archnemesis OSU after picking up that school's biggest commit in years (once again, for the record, how I determine rankings is by averaging out the three services' team rank; in the event of a tie, like with this week, I give the edge to the school with the larger class).
With its strong showing this week, Purdue is no longer the bottom class in the conference; as of this writing, word is spreading of another possible commit for this class, this one a flip from a fellow Big Ten school.

In Green, the Wolverines' sole pickup this week, Michigan got a very, very highly rated back, capable of playing right away. He held offers from every school and their mother, including Penn State, where his recruiter was Charles London.
