Week 10 Big Ten Power Rankings: Maryland continues its descent, what do we make of the West?

There’s officially a logjam in the Big Ten West. An East squad is tumbling. How do we sort it all out in the Week 10 Big Ten Power Rankings?

Week 9 is in the books, and two programs are really beginning their rapid descent this year.
