Big Ten power rankings
1. Michigan (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten): With all their distractions, Wolverines allow a season-high 13 points to Purdue yet still win by four touchdowns.
2. Ohio State (9-0, 6-0): Jordan Hancock's 93-yard pick-six in third quarter gives Buckeyes needed spark in 35-16 win at Rutgers.
3. Penn State (8-1, 5-1): Drew Allar has his best game yet, passing for four TDs in 51-15 rout of Maryland. Nittany Lions will need him to be just as sharp against Michigan.
4. Rutgers (6-3, 3-3): Scarlet Knights held 9-7 halftime lead against Ohio State, but settling for short field goals cost them.
5. Iowa (7-2, 4-2): Special teams come up big with blocked punt to set up touchdown and 53-yard field goal to beat Northwestern 10-7.
6. Wisconsin (5-4, 3-3): Playing without top RB Braelon Allen and top WR Chimere Dike, Badgers didn't generate enough offense in 20-14 loss at Indiana.
7. Gophers (5-4, 3-3): After blown late fourth-quarter leads against Northwestern and Illinois, Gophers are happy to see no other teams from Land of Lincoln on their schedule.
8. Nebraska (5-4, 3-3): Three turnovers, porous pass defense doom Huskers in 20-17 loss at Michigan State.
