Another weekend of college football is in the books, and things took some dramatic turns around the Big Ten. Losses suffered by a handful of teams in the Big Ten West Division led to some changes in this week’s Big Ten power rankings. There is also a new team sitting on top of the conference, for now at least.
Wisconsin, Iowa, Northwestern, and Nebraska all lost non-conference matchups on their home field in Week 2, helping to allow Minnesota to move up the power ranking a bit at their expense. In the East, Michigan has yet to really be challenged, but some of the value of Ohio State‘s Week 1 victory over Notre Dame has lost some on the return investment after the Irish went down to Marshall in South Bend. Also, the Wolverines have curb-stomped their first two opponents.
So what do the power rankings look like this week around the Big Ten? Let’s have a look.
