Big Ten Football: Week 3 Power Rankings

Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports

Another embarrassing week is in the books for the Big Ten, after four more teams fall from the undefeated ranks in week three.

Now, only Nebraska and Penn State remain as the league’s unscathed squads.

Michigan State and Wisconsin took this past week off to lick their wounds, but the rest of the conference took to action, hopeful that some of the conference’s honor could be restored.

There was some good news this past weekend as traditional powerhouses Nebraska, Ohio State and Michigan all looked dominant in bounce back victories.

Plus, the Big Ten football season is officially underway as Rutgers and Penn State clashed in Piscataway, NJ.

How did last week’s performances shift the balance of power in the Big Ten?

Let’s review what the conference showed the nation and find out.
