Big Ten football power rankings after Week 9: A new contender emerges.

With each passing week, the pecking order in the Big Ten becomes clearer and clearer. We’re now nine weeks into the college football season, five of those in-conference, so we’re now more than halfway through the league schedule.

The game of the week in college football took place in East Lansing and gave Michigan State a big boost in what we all thought its ceiling was. But how does Michigan’s loss affect its standing in the league, and what about Ohio State having to tough out a game against Penn State team that shot its best shot to spring an upset in Columbus?

We digest it all and give you our latest Big Ten football power rankings after nine weeks of play.
