Another week of college football action is in the books, and it was an eventful one, to say the least. In addition to the Huskers’ 28-10 win over Colorado, the college football world watched No. 5 Notre Dame upset by Northern Illinois and top-ranked programs Alabama, Oregon and Penn State struggle with Group of Five opponents.
ESPN’s football power index was updated following the second week of college football action and it re-ranked the Big Ten.
At the top, Ohio State and Penn State remain the leaders. From there was quite a bit of shuffling, including Indiana making a huge jump and Wisconsin continuing to fall following a close win over South Dakota.
Overall, the Big Ten has three teams inside the top 10, five inside the top 25 and eight inside the top 50. Where do the Huskers enter the mix? Scroll below to see the FPI breakdown for the Big Ten Conference.
