Power Rankings 

1. Indiana – Beating everyone by 50 will get you the top spot. Sorry Ohio State. 
2. Ohio State – Can it finally beat Michigan this year? 
3. Oregon – The Ducks have no idea what’s coming in Iowa City. 
4. Iowa – Massive opportunity for the Hawks this weekend. Kinnick will be rocking. 
5. USC – Really nice road win over Nebraska. 
6. Michigan – Nearly losing to Purdue at home will raise an eyebrow. 
7. Washington – Jedd Fisch isn’t going anywhere. This is an underrated team. 
8. Illinois – This team is so hard to figure out. 
9. Nebraska – Extending Matt Rhule was such a dumb mistake. 
10. Minnesota – The Gophers needed overtime to beat Michigan State? 
11. Northwestern – The ‘Cats are going to have a tough time getting to six wins. 
12. UCLA – This team is going to be a tough out. 
13. Penn State – The Nittany Lions are going extinct.

15. Rutgers – This team has completely flopped. 
16. Purdue – Boilers have fought hard, but a long rebuild is ahead. 
17. Michigan State – The Jonathan Smith era may be over soon. 
18. Wisconsin –  This team sucks. Enough said.
