Big Ten football power rankings after Week 1: Something to build on

Our first Big Ten football power rankings after an interesting Week 1 slate of games. #B1G

After spewing out predictions and forecasts of what we think we know, we now have some real, live football action to go by in the Big Ten. It’s still a small sample size, and it sure is easy to go all knee-jerk on this whole thing, but it’s better than throwing darts at a picture of Jim Harbaugh to determine where teams stack up.

We like to bring you a new list of power rankings in the Big Ten after the previous week’s games, and that’s exactly what we’re doing here after Week 1.

Here’s our first crack at the Big Ten football power rankings after all the teams have had a chance to now strut themselves in some amateur collegiate American football games. It’s bound to change drastically as we move forward, so don’t get too upset at this point.
