It wasn’t the sexiest weekend of Big Ten football with Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State all off on bye weeks, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t some explosive movement in the latest power rankings.

No. 2 Iowa was manhandled and shocked by upstart Purdue, a team with two losses on the season, while Michigan State struggled mightily against now 2-4 Indiana. Nebraska still lost by one score and had plenty of chances to surge ahead of Minnesota, but Tanner Morgan finally looked like a senior quarterback. Northwestern beat Rutgers and Wisconsin evened its record with a win over Army.

With all of the above, we saw some big movement near the top, in the middle, and at the bottom of our latest power rankings. Here’s where the Big Ten stands through Week 7.
