Just when you think nothing is going to happen in a particular college football week, some stuff seems to pop up out of nowhere. There were some notable developments around the top 25 in Week 3 of the college football season, but things in the Big Ten went pretty much as expected, for the most part.
Overall, it was a pretty stable week for my power rankings. The biggest team on the move for me may have been Michigan State, which got hammered at home by Washington. I fear there will be more big losses on the way for the Spartans, so they could be falling hard and fast if they don’t rebound and rally in East Lansing.
If there was a week for Michigan to be dethroned, this was it. But Penn State didn’t quite do enough in my book to warrant sliding ahead of the Wolverines just yet. I did, however, opt to keep them ahead of Ohio State for a second striaght week even though Ohio State woke up the offense this week.
Here is a look at my updated Big Ten power rankings following the results of Week 3.
