5. Michigan (Last week 5)
We were tempted to move the Wolverines down in the power rankings after being smoked again by Ohio State. But, the reality is that this team has looked good against everyone not named Penn State, Wisconsin, or Penn State. So, average it is. Here’s a reality check for Wolverine fans. Michigan is Iowa, but in the East Division.
4. Penn State (Last week 3)
It was a little bit of a lackluster effort, but the Nittany Lions got the win. Still, you and I — and James Franklin — still believe this team is not elite.
3. Minnesota (Last week 2)
You don’t get spanked around with so much on the line and not drop. We didn’t penalize the Gophers that much though because the boat has been rowing through the waters pretty solidly all year.
2. Wisconsin (Last week 4)
The Badgers are back where we thought they would be just a few weeks into the season. Now, they get a second crack at the Buckeyes to try and win a Big Ten Championship and get possibly into a New Year’s Six bowl. I’ll bet Paul Chryst would love to have that Illinois game back.

Ohio State proved again it is the class of the league and most likely punched its ticket to the College Football Playoff. This team has a chance to go down as one of the best in the history of OSU. That’s saying something for a program that now owns the highest winning percentage of all FBS college programs with at least 25 years in the highest division.
