On a week when Penn State was sitting home and watching the rest of the Big Ten and national college football action, the Nittany Lions should have been keeping a close eye on its top two division hurdles.

This was an interesting week in the Big Ten as things begin to really heat up in the division races. This weekend’s action saw Iowa and Wisconsin set the stage for a big showdown in the Big Ten West next week, while Ohio State and Michigan continue to set the pace in the East, with Penn State ready to jump back into things after their bye week.
Here is a look at my updated Big Ten power rankings following the results of Week 6.
