Week 5 Big Ten Power Rankings: Hawkeyes go tumbling, West looks as bad as ever

The Iowa Hawkeyes and the Big Ten West take another tumble in the Week 5 Big Ten Power Rankings.

The Big Ten truly is a tale of two divisions. On one side, you have the East. They have the top four teams in the division, all of them undefeated.

Rutgers is also 3-1, on track for one of their best seasons in recent memory. At the top, Michigan, Penn State, and Ohio State all will be in contention for the College Football Playoff.

In the West, it’s just truly sad. Wisconsin and Iowa are the only teams with winning records, though neither team is impressing much so far this year. For as much of a wasteland as the division was last year, it seems to be even worse this year. It just looks like a race to see who will get obliterated by one of the big three of the East in Indianapolis to finish the season.

With Big Ten Conference play really starting to kick off, here are your updated power rankings.
