Big Ten Power Rankings: Week 5

In a new installment, I’ll be ranking every team in a Big Ten power rankings each week, going from bottom to top as conference play starts to unravel here in Week 5.

After four weeks of games, here is how the Big Ten stacks up.

14. Minnesota Golden Gophers

You CANNOT give up a 21-point lead to this Northwestern football team in the fourth quarter, lose the game in overtime, and expect to be anywhere but the bottom. Minnesota has a lot to figure out before they play Michigan on October 7th.

13. Northwestern Wildcats

Northwestern may not win another game this season, but they’ve already exceeded expectations. They had no business winning last week but maybe this kickstarts something?

12. Michigan…
