Week 4 Big Ten Power Rankings: The East keeps rising

As league play arrives in earnest, a peek at the Week 4 Big Ten Power Rankings.

Nonconference play is now over. That was fun, folks. Bye FCS and MAC teams, hope to see you again soon! Don’t spend that “thank you for letting us whip your butts” money in one place!

Early in this one, it’s really becoming a tale of two divisions once again. Much has been made of the top-heavy nature of the East division, basically, the only one that can win the title game. Only one team in the division has a losing record, and you better believe they’ll be low in our rankings.

The West is once again looking like the goober division, looking as unserious as ever in their “pursuits” of a Big Ten Championship. There’s been a lot of horrendous quarterback play so far in the division.

How will the discrepancy between divisions translate in the Big Ten Power Rankings? Let’s find out. It’s time to rank ’em!
