The Big Ten had a nearly perfect clean sweep of week one, with some huge wins for the conference, including Ohio State's victory over the No. 1 preseason-ranked team, the Texas Longhorns. As first weeks go, there were some surprises like Purdue getting a shutout victory, Rutgers almost losing to a MAC opponent, or USC looking otherworldly against an inferior Missouri State.
The rankings has a few surprises for week one but not many.
Ohio State continues to help prove that the Big Ten is better than the SEC, no matter what ESPN says or all the narratives that the pundits want to prove.
