Big Ten football returned to the field in Week 1 of the college football season. With games starting Thursday and running through the weekend, the Big Ten gave fans plenty of opportunities to catch the conference in action for the final season with 14 members. And it was a fine start to the year for Michigan and Penn State as well as Maryland and Wisconsin.
There is still one more Big Ten game to be played in Week 1 that is not included in this roundup. Northwestern and Rutgers will meet on Sunday afternoon in their respective season openers. That game had not been played at the time of this original posting.
Here is a look at everything that has happened in the Big Ten in Week 1 so far. The rankings referenced reflect the US LBM Coaches Poll preseason rankings.
