Big Ten Football Power Rankings, Week Six: Top teams hold steady, chaos ensues elsewhere

Three distinct tiers of Big Ten teams are beginning to form. The contenders make up the top five, the bottom eight is a complete mess, and then there’s Wisconsin sitting in purgatory between the two. Here’s the how the complete hierarchy unfolded:

1. No. 4 Penn State (5-0, 2-0 B1G)

Last Ranking: 1

Last Result: W vs. Indiana (24-0)

Next: at No. 3 Iowa

Penn State looked good once again in a convincing victory over Indiana on Saturday, and that sets up the most important game of the season so far.
