Michigan's 24-17 primetime flop at Notre Dame all but ended the Big Ten's chances of getting two teams into the College Football Playoff and has renewed the white-hot focus on Jim Harbaugh and his underachieving Wolverines.
But how much did the loss hurt Michigan in the Big Ten power rankings? Here's how the conference stacks up after Week 1:
Last week: defeated Kent State, 31-24.
Next up: Saturday vs. Western Illinois, 7:30 p.m.
Of note: Illinois got devastating news when star wideout Mike Dudek suffered a season-ending knee injury against Kent State, his third season-ending injury in his career.
