Power Rankings
- Michigan — With the return of Harbaugh, this team is rolling.
- Penn State — Why isn’t every home game a White Out?
- Ohio State — Marvin Harrison Jr. is a problem.
- Wisconsin —Dominant Week 4 win on the road, but losing RB Chez Mellusi hurts this team.
- Iowa— Iowa’s offense looked like it didn’t belong on the same field as Penn St.
- Maryland — Tagovailoa playing better as the season progresses.
- Rutgers—The Scarlet Knights have some dogs on their defense.
- Minnesota— Everybody is talking about Coach Prime, but P.J. Fleck has some swag to him I don’t care what anyone says.
- Illinois — A close win over FAU leaves more questions for Luke Altmyer and this offense.
- Michigan State— Spartans need to get a run game going if they want to be successful.
- Nebraska — Rushing for over 300 yards and three TDs in a game? I could have sworn I was watching mid-’90s Nebraska.
- Indiana— How do you go to four overtime against Akron?
- Northwestern — Are the Wildcats not as bad as we think?
- Purdue — Feed Tyrone Tracy Jr. the ball.
