Another week of college football has gone by and while some teams in the Big Ten struggled — looking at you Michigan and Michigan State — they still came out victorious. Others lost but looked improved, like Nebraska and Illinois. Ohio State rolled over Akron while Minnesota inexplicably lost at home to Bowling Green.

It was a wild week, to say the least.

Taking a look at how PFF graded each team cumulatively over the course of the season, the grades share more about overall execution compared to either predicting who will win future matchups, strength of schedule, or how they actually stack up against each other. In other words, it isn’t a power ranking. But it is a good snapshot to see how teams have executed thus far.

This ranking below is according to the overall team score, but we’ve also included offensive and defensive grades, and how each team ranks in the FBS according to PFF.
