We’re officially 45 days away from the start of the college football season and Nebraska will be headed to Dublin, Ireland, to take on the Northwestern Wildcats. As the Big Ten season gets closer and closer, how does the 14-team league stack up against one another? A list containing the power rankings of the Big Ten’s football team has been released by FanNation and we are going to take a closer look. The Cornhuskers have been consistently placed in the middle of the pack across most of the preseason conference rankings and while Nebraska may be in familiar territory in this list, you’ll see that different teams surround them.
The usual players will be listed in typical spots, but the middle and bottom of the pack are stacked up in a way that I have yet to see in any other power rankings. Of course, preseason rankings don’t mean much once the season has started, but it is interesting to see the general belief surrounding the conference for 2022.
