Official /r/TheB1G Week 5 Power Rankings

Week 5 Power Rankings:

The big games of the week certainly didn't disappoint, with some exciting games going right down to the wire. The top half of the conference shook up a bit after, while the bottom half remained pretty steady this week.

In terms of games to watch, we've got #8 Rutgers traveling to #10 Nebraska in a game pitting two middle-of-the-pack teams hoping to improve their lot in life. You've also got #14 Wisconsin heading to #18 Purdue with both teams hoping to dig themselves out of the muck, and #1 Ohio State hosts #9 Iowa in the toughest challenge any of the top teams will likely face this week (which says a lot about the quality of teams the top of the conference faces this week).

Schedules and Results

Rank	Commentary
1.	Is it weird I feel bad about the defense after they held a conference opponent to 7 points on the road while forcing multiple turnovers? DC Jim Knowles has certainly set a sky high standard, this isn't the Ohio State defense of 4 seasons ago that's for sure. Will Howard threw a couple balls up for grabs early in the game, one resulted in an interception that lead to Spartys only TD. He's an upgrade from what the had last year, but he's not a true difference maker at position. He's an above avg College QB and with this roster that might be enough. Also shoutout Devin Brown who came in cold for one play & threw a perfect ball for 6 to Jeremiah Smith (more on smith later) The two headed monster at RB looked good yet again, and Henderson is an incredible asset in pass protection, on 2 separate occasions he thwarted a well timed blitz which led to Big plays. WRs: ill start with the under appreciated Carnell Tate: he's really good but has been overshadowed by guys like Marvin Harrison Jr, Embuka, & now Jeremiah Smith. Tate is great, & I think he'll be a nice player at the next level (maybe a poor man's Tee Higgins). Jeremiah Smith... wow. He has a chance to be the best WR in the history of the school... which wow. He is special man. Ohio State welcomes Iowa into Columbus next week, early prediction Ohio State 34 -7 /u/realfakemormon
2.	In what was essentially a White Out, Penn State came out on top against a strong Illinois Team. Offense moved the ball well, especially on the ground, but sputtered out a few times in the redzone resulting in FG attempts that proved to be a major issue for PSU, missing 2 attempts from about 40 yards. On Defense, after a worrying opening drive PSU was able to settle in well, especially in the second half where they gave up a total of 36 yards. The ground game ultimately proved to be the key as PSU dominated the rushing yardage 34 to 241 (includes sack yardage). Next up, UCLA at home. /u/Scar_Killed_Mufasa
3.	The Ducks were just short of the spread hammering UCLA on the road to remain undefeated. A flukey 96 yard pick 6 at the end of the first half was pretty much the only performance blemish. A scary injury to TE Terrance Ferguson could impact the offense going forward. The next game is Michigan State. After 5 weeks the only close game was a 3 point win over top 25 Boise State who just demolished a WSU team that beat Washington in Seattle. /u/TopRevenue2
4.	Michigan played a great half of football against Minnesota. Unfortunately, football games continue to be two halves long, and the Wolverines have not quite figured out what to do about that. Orji looked slightly better throwing the ball and the defensive line wrecked shop, but busts on defense, weird playcalling, and poor clock management left fans with a lot of questions about the coaching staff. Michigan has a toss up game this week against Washington. /u/sirnack
5.	/u/DontKnowWhereIAm
6.	All the talk on BTN leading up to kickoff was the fact that the Hoosiers had zero turnovers heading into this game. Naturally, what happens? Interceptions on the first two possessions. Luckily the defense stepped up and kept the momentum from swaying in Maryland’s favor. The game was back and forth for the most part until the offense was able to put together two big scoring drives late in the third quarter/early in the fourth quarter and the defense locked in to keep the separation. We got to see another way in which this year’s team is much different than versions of Hoosier teams in the past: they didn’t let mistakes and adversity doom them. Next up is a road trip to Northwestern where IU looks to start 6-0 for only the second time ever. In Coach Cig we trust! GO HOOSIERS! /u/Btownfranchise
7.	You know they say good teams win, but great teams cover. In all seriousness, the Illini fought hard to stay close with Penn State through most of the game, but didn't have the horses on either side of the line to really threaten all that much. The defense did an admirable job of controlling explosives but struggled to stop Nits from taking the yardage they needed most of the time. On offense, other than the opening drive and one botched finish in the first half, the Illini didn't manage much at all. This was a game that had a very narrow path to victory; keep Luke clean and win the turnover battle, and they went 0/2 on those goals. Thankfully after two straight physical, high pressure games the Illini get to catch their breath on the bye week before hosting Purdue on the 12th. /u/Silidon
8.	What a game! What a win! Well, Rutgers almost buttgers'd it for the 2nd week in a row, but we held on for a 21-18 victory despite Washington outgaining us by over 200 yards. Our rushing attack lead the way, and our passing game added just enough extra to move the ball and score some points. I was there in the light rain, and it was one of the best game atmospheres I've seen at Rutgers Stadium in a long time. Now we head into Nebraska to try and win what honestly could be our most impressive victory of the season so far (even including this recent Washington victory). If we pull off this victory on the road, we really could be headed for a truly special season. /u/MRC1986
9.	BYE /u/trumpet_23
10.	At halftime of the game with Purdue, there was panic on the streets of Lincoln. A 0-0 start with copious amounts of special teams blunders, felt reminiscence of the Frost Era. A lesser Nebraska team loses this game. Yet, the team came out of halftime and scored on their three full drives, and added a John Bullock pick-6 to cruise to a 28-10 win. John Bullock is possibly the best example of the things about this staff that makes Nebraska fans optimistic. A walk-on Safety, he was fourth or fifth string in the Frost era. Matt Rhule came in moved him to linebacker and suddenly he got playing time, won a single digit number, and finally is performing at an all-conference level. Now, the question I wonder to myself is whether the 2nd Half Nebraska from Purdue will show up against Rutgers or the 1st Half Nebraska. /u/666haha
11.	/u/roadtripwithdogs
12.	Full disclosure I did not watch this game, I was at a social event and by the time I could’ve left the game was already functionally decided. Stats and word of mouth is that we played better than the final score indicates, Ohio State is just that much of a well oiled machine. Death, taxes, and tOSU winning in East Lansing. Minnesota was not offsides. /u/_dost
13.	Somehow, Maryland leads the nation in turnover margin and Billy Edwards still leads the B1G in passing yards, but the Terps lodged another embarrassing performance resulting in an avoidable loss. The offense committed 9 penalties and allowed 5 sacks which killed drive after drive. Despite creating 4 turnovers, the defense gave up 510 yards to largely uncovered receivers. The game was tied for most of the first three quarters but once again we gave up an easy scoring drive before halftime and completely collapsed late in the game. This team is vastly better than their record shows but the lack of mental fortitude is palpable. Terps will basically need to win every competitive game from here on out. /u/Wicked_UMD
14.	/u/coletheredditer
15.	Gophers actually played a decent game, including that frantic 4th quarter comeback attempt which made me excited to watch them for the first time in a while. Mistakes continue to kill them, including another missed field goal, penalties, and two turnovers that gave Michigan 2 short touchdowns. one positive highlight was Koi Perich returning a punt for 60 yards, which contributed mightily to the comeback attempt. /u/ZachRE
16.	BYE /u/
17.	/u/
18.	I had the misfortune of seeing the Nebraska collapse with my own eyes. We were outnumbered and outcheered in our own stadium. I woke up in a cold sweat hearing "go big red" last night. Thankfully, we fired our offensive coordinator so maybe we won't be as bad going forward? I'm not holding my breath. Oregon will beat us by 50 next week /u/boiler1101

Points are the summation of every voter's ranking for that team, therefore lower scores are better. This works because unlike the AP, Coaches, or /r/cfb polls, every team is ranked in every vote. If x votes were counted, the best possible score is x and the worst possible score is 14x. #1 votes are in parentheses.

Average Rank is the points divided by the number of votes. This will allow for comparison from one week to the next.

Prev. is the Rank from the previous week.

Change is the change in average rank from the previous week.

Variance is a measure of how much agreement there was between voters. A zero means all voters ranked a team the same, and a higher number means a team's ranking was more controversial.

Could Rutgers go to the B1G Championship this year?

No tOSU, PSU, ORE, MICH on their schedule. If they run the table, do you think they go to Indianapolis and the playoffs or do you think B1G and CFB politics keep them out?

Duke it out in the comments.

Were most CFB fans in fraternities in college?

I went to ucla, and I rushed 3 times and got denied from everywhere. It sucks being told how fun and great Greek life is while also being told they have the right to be exclusive and you don’t need to join. It just sucks to get rejected in general I guess

It sucks the Big 10 schools so hard to get into

Like everyone in the world applies for UCLA, USC, Michigan, Ohio State, and so on. Everyone wants that college experience and go to football games and such. I know someone who got straight As in high school and played three varsity sports who got denied from UW Madison. It sucks the big 10 schools aren’t really meant for average or even above average students
