Big Ten Football Power Rankings, Week Eight: Despite early indications, Ohio State is still Ohio State

Last week, this article was prefaced with the “two weeks in first” trend, which, of course, as soon as I brought it up, was snapped the following Saturday with Iowa’s loss against Purdue. If we are now, in fact, on a one-week cycle, I should’ve put Michigan in first. Here’s how the full rankings played out:

1. No. 5 Ohio State (5-1, 3-0 B1G)

Last Ranking: 2

Last Result: W vs. Maryland (66-17) (Oct. 9)

Next: at Indiana

It’s amazing how quickly perceptions surrounding a team can change.
