Is Michigan State the worst team in the Big Ten? A few weeks ago I couldn’t imagine asking myself this question but that’s where things have gotten to in just a three-week span.
The Spartans dropped their third straight game on Saturday — this time at the hands of Maryland, 27-13. It was yet another double-digit loss and now has many fans — including myself — wondering if Michigan State will win another game this year.
How far do I drop the Spartans after another brutal performance? See where I rank Michigan State and the rest of the Big Ten teams in this week’s Big Ten power rankings:
14
Northwestern
Record: 1-4 (1-1 in Big Ten)
This week’s result: Loss at Penn State
Next game: vs. Wisconsin (Oct. 8)
Northwestern dropped their fourth straight game this week, with a road loss at Penn State. The Wildcats’ offense continues to be a problem and will keep them destined for the bottom of the league this year.
13
Indiana
Record: 3-2 (1-1 in Big Ten)
This week’s result: Loss at Nebraska
Next game: vs. Michigan (Oct. 8)
The Hoosiers have hit the hard part of their schedule with a pair of losses the past two weeks. Next week will also be a challenge for Indiana with top five Michigan coming to town.
12
Rutgers
Record: 3-2 (0-2 in Big Ten)
This week’s result: Loss at Ohio State
Next game: vs. Nebraska (Oct. 7)
Rutgers jumped out to an early lead against Ohio State this week before losing by nearly 40 points. The Scarlet Knights weren’t expected to win against the Buckeyes, but this week’s home Friday night clash against Nebraska is certainly a game they must win if they want to reach a bowl game.

Nebraska
Record: 2-3 (1-1 in Big Ten)
