Another week has passed in the Big Ten and things have been thrown into turmoil, well — aside from the top of the league. What we thought we knew below the top three or four teams has turned into chaos and questions that may result in an interesting rest of the year.
Teams like Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State continued to exert themselves and show that they are the best teams in the league, while others like Minnesota and Wisconsin were humbled by poor showings.
Now that we’re through Week 5, we have more observations and results on the field to help sort through the mess that seems to be the middle to the bottom of the league.
Here are our Big Ten football power rankings after Week 5. We’re sure it’ll change again next week after some more surprises and disappointments.
