Perhaps more than any year in recent memory, it looks like the Big Ten may have a few of the upper crust teams in all of college football. With SEC behemoths not named Georgia not showing well early, Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State might just be three of the very best teams in the country this year.
Of course, that all has to be sorted out. Nobody should be thinking about engraving trophies just a few weeks into the 2023 college football season, but there’s little doubt that some heavy hitters are in the Midwest.
But it’s not just those three. Iowa has also looked very good — and yes — even Rutgers and Maryland seem to be thinking about being good at the American game of football in 2023.
But how do the Big Ten teams stack up against one another? There seems to be a clear top three, all from the East division, but how do they shake out in comparison to each other, and what teams line up behind that?
Well, we are sure glad you asked because we get paid to provide opinions on things just like this. In fact, after another set of games, we now have even more film to go by, scrutinize and criticize to come up with our Big Ten football power rankings after Week 3.
Let’s go through this little journey together, shall we?
