Through six weeks of Big Ten play, the conference continues to see a few surprising movements in our power rankings.
Ohio State’s dominant win over Maryland keeps them in the No. 1 spot, especially since Indiana nearly slipped up against Nebraska.
Oregon’s horrendous 17-15 loss against UCLA sees them plummet in the rankings.
Iowa put the world on notice with a dominant win against Washington, and Illinois survived an overtime battle vs. Michigan State.
Arguably the most impressive win of the week saw Purdue take down Minnesota, a team that is now outside the top 10.
Remember: Wisconsin, Michigan, and Rutgers all had byes this week.
