The college football season is passing us by quickly folks, and each week we see some interesting and surprising things that make us reassess our Big Ten football power rankings.
What we thought we know early in the season has been turned upside down, aside from maybe Ohio State and Michigan setting the pace still. We now know the strength of the league seems to reside in the East with the Buckeyes, Wolverines and Nittany Lions, but in what order? All three are undefeated.
Meanwhile, if we head to the West division, it feels like a coin flip every week on who will win each matchup. It’s anyone’s guess who will head to Indy and the Big Ten football championship game with a chance to knock off the champion of the East division.
Here’s where we believe things stand with the power of the Big Ten after six weeks in the books. And, yeah, we’re sure it’ll all look much different in a couple of weeks from the middle to the bottom because that’s just how things are going this season.
