This is the final edition of the 2012 Big Ten power rankings. And it?s pretty clear who the two best teams in the Big Ten are: Ohio State and Nebraska. Alas, they can?t meet in the conference title game, as the Buckeyes are on probation. But Ohio State finished 12-0, including a 63-38 win over the Cornhuskers in Columbus earlier this season. So, the Buckeyes must be best, right?
