Big Ten power rankings after Week 1: A new team on top

It was a wild first week for the Big Ten Conference!

Now every single Big Ten team has at least one game under its belt with Week 1 in the books. But how does each team stack up against the others?

Some teams won unimpressively — Penn State, Michigan State, Nebraska, Iowa, and Indiana are among them. Some won impressively — Michigan, Wisconsin, Rutgers, and Maryland. Two lost — Purdue and Illinois, both in Big Ten games. In fact, every Big Ten team that faced a nonconference opponent won their game. But not all things are created equal.

With that in mind, our weekly power rankings are officially back in full form, and there’s a new No. 1 this week compared to our preseason and Week 0 rankings. See where your favorite Big Ten team stands below.
