Big Ten Football Power Rankings, Week 5: Is anyone actually good?

Week 4 was, shall we say, interesting for the Big Ten. There were lots of expected results, but they weren’t achieved in the expected fashion. A MAC team beat a B1G team, but Northwestern (surprisingly) wasn’t involved, and Nebraska might not actually be the worst team in the conference. Here’s how the full Week 5 Power Rankings turned out:

1. No. 4 Penn State (4-0, 1-0 B1G)

Last Ranking: 2

Last Result: W vs. Villanova (38-17)

Next: vs. Indiana

Well, here we are. There’s a new number one in these rankings.
