The BSD Big Ten Power Rankings, Week 8

Ohio State is starting to separate from the rest of the field, which is scary.

I didn't get a chance to watch much of Ohio State's drubbing of Rutgers on Saturday, but the little that I did combined with my box score combing got me wondering what everyone else did: why didn't J.T. Barrett start from day one? Five total touchdowns and 324 all-purpose yards are Heisman-caliber numbers, and it kind of sucks that he's only just now getting the chance to put them up.

It also sucks that he didn't become the Buckeyes' quarterback until the game against Penn State.
