Big Ten Power Rankings and Bowl Predictions

I intended to continue this trend earlier in the season, but it seemed odd to be doing so when the league season was only one or two weeks old. Well, now we are five games into the conference schedule (at least), and we have a clearer picture of the players and pretenders in the Big Ten (plus one). Whatever your views of the league, I think we can all agree it has been better. Here’s my take. 1. Penn State (9-0, 5-0 Big Ten) Penn State is, without question, the best the Big Ten has to offer. Like we said in the intro, you can decide what that is worth. At this point, the Nittany Lions need three wins to complete an undefeated season, which would most likely yield a trip to the BCSCG. Penn State has a road trip to Iowa this weekend followed by home tilts versus Indiana and Michigan State. I just feel like something crazy is going to happen. Final Three Games: @ Iowa, v.
