Big Ten Football Power Rankings, Week 5: Division pictures become clearer

This past week separated the good from the great in the Big Ten and determined a clear leader in the East and the West. Let’s take a look at the conference power rankings after five weeks of play.

14. Penn State (0-5)

Last ranking: 14

Last result: L vs. Iowa (21-41)

Next: vs. Michigan

Penn State has been consistently outmatched in all aspects of the game. They currently rank 11th in the conference in total offense and 12th in total defense. James Franklin would be on the hot seat except for the fact that his newly signed contract has a $32 million dollar buyout.
