During the fifth week of the college football season, we saw all 14 Big Ten teams in action for the first time.

Most of the games ended up being close aside from Ohio State’s 58-0 drubbing of Rutgers and Maryland’s 50-7 rout of Purdue. Four games were decided by seven points or less and two of those went to overtime.

A few lesser Big Ten teams made some noise as well. Indiana knocked off Michigan State in a battle of teams coming off of bad losses.

Let’s take a closer look at the Big Ten with another edition of our power rankings.
