With three weekends to go, Indiana, Nebraska and Michigan have a bit of separation from the rest of the field. And all three play each other down the stretch. The schedule looks slightly favorable to Nebraska.
Indiana - 5 Games (2 home vs. NU, 3 @ UM)
Nebraska - 5 Games (2 @ IU, 3 home vs. UM)
Michigan - 6 Games (3 home vs. IU, 3 @ NU)
Iowa and Maryland might also have something to say about it. This is what their schedules look like the rest of the year.
Iowa - 3 home vs. Illinois, 3 @ Northwestern, 3 @ Michigan State (theoretically, the easiest schedule)
Maryland - 3 home vs. Purdue, 3 @ Michigan, 3 home vs. Indiana (the most opportunity to make up ground, but the toughest remaining schedule outside of Michigan)
