Big Ten football power rankings after Week 1

Finally.

College football is back and what a week it was. Yeah, yeah, we had a weird week 0 game between Illinois and Nebraska in the Big Ten, but this was the week that really mattered, especially if you are an Ohio State fan.

The Buckeyes looked a little wavering in the first half then won as expected, Penn State got a good, good win on the road at Wisconsin, and Iowa looked fantastic.

Each week we take a stab at the pecking order in the Big Ten based on the body of work, and at this point, there’s not much, but we still have some real, live games to go by rather than thoughts and narratives in our heads (okay, to be real that still happens in my noggin’).

So here we go, the first crack at the Big Ten football power rankings after one week of play with fans in the glorious stands once again.
