BSD is back with the Big Ten Power Rankings after sitting out last week. It's been an interesting couple of weeks to say the least. Who would have guessed at this point in the season that Ohio State would be riding a four game losing streak and Penn State would be on a winning streak?
| Rank | Team | Previous | Last Week | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue 23-6 (14-2) |
1 | W – 65-43 Minnesota W – 68-43 Northwestern |
Still the best team in the conference. | |
| 2 | Wisconsin 24-4 (14-2) |
2 | W – 57-42 MSU | If not for Purdue, the Badgers would be undefeated in B10 play. | |

4 | L – 42-57 @Wisconsin W – 103-74 Indiana |
42 points one night. 103 the next. Go figure. Losses to PSU and Iowa hold them back. | |

Tubby finally kind of got a quality win. | |

Losers of three in a row. | |

Two losses to B10 bottom feeders? No rank for you. | |
