Big Ten 2026 Power Rankings Before Week 8
« on: Today at 07:05:39 AM »
Well, Week 7 was a completely crazy  day in college football.  The transitive property is completely dead.  May it rest in peace.

My Big Ten Power Rankings are in a post below.  What does everyone else think?
We are all equal but some are more equal than others.

1.  Ohio St - The difference between Ohio St and Indiana is literally one foot.  But credit goes to OSU, who got the job done in win at Indiana

2.  Indiana - magical run finally ends as Ind can't pull out one more dramatic come from behind win in the last 2 minutes.  Ind loses to Ohio St at home.

3.  UCLA - defense shines in tough game without the starting QB, beating Wisc at home.

Ugh-  there is a big logjam at #4.  Could be any of 7 teams you could choose from  The middle could take some time to sort out.

4.  Oregon -  pulls out tough victory at home over Neb with the backup QB.  Ore has also beat USC and lost to UCLA.

5.  Nebraska. - loses 2 games in row to Ind and Ore blowing leads in 4Q in both games.

6.  Iowa - has beat Mich and Wash and has lost to Ohio St

7.  Northwestern - escapes with 3-point win at Mich St.

8.  Wisconsin - loses on road to UCLA

9.  USC -  has beat Rut, Wash and Penn St and has lost to Oregon.

10.  Minneosta -  has beat Mich and Wash and lost to Purdue

11.  Washington -  maybe saves its season by beating Purdue on the road.

12.  Purdue - loses at home to Wash after beating Minn and ILL in previous games

13.  Michigan -  benches its million dollar QB in 2H and wins at home over Penn St

14.  Penn St -  loses to Mich on the road.  Now 0-4 in conference 

15. Illinois - has  loss to Purdue and Beat MSU by 1 in OT

16.  Mich St -  has come close to winning twice now against ILL in OT and in last second loss to NW.

17.  Rutgers -  congrats.  Rutgers is no longer the worst team in the conference. Coming from behind to win at MD

18.  Maryland.  - blows 10-point half time lead and loses to Rut at home.    I would say the clock is now ticking on when Locksley will be fired as head coach.
