In many ways, it was a normal week for the Big Ten, but also a crazy one.

Ohio State displayed its weaknesses for the nation to see in an upset loss to Oregon. Michigan ran again, again, again, and again over the formerly ranked Washington Huskies. Nebraska showed more than a pulse against a good MAC team. And Iowa won its second-straight ranked contest in a row.

With all that in mind, it begs the question: is the Big Ten what many thought it was at the season’s outset?

We’re only two weeks into the season (three for some) and we have a few answers, with plenty more to be answered in Week 3. Here’s the complexion of the conference with Week 2 in the books.
