Big Ten Week 9 power rankings: New No. 1 after USC upset Ohio State
With only Michigan State on bye this week, it was a busy weekend for Big Ten football.
Week 9 of Big Ten football saw USC emerge as the new No. 1 team after an impressive upset of 2nd-ranked Ohio State, 30-18. Iowa secured a dominant victory over Wisconsin, 30-0, while Oregon claimed a ranked win by defeating 20th-ranked Northwestern. Minnesota narrowly avoided an upset against Indiana in an overtime thriller. UCLA put together an easy 8-0 record, but their non-conference matchup against Nevada was uneventful.
Penn State finally claimed its first Big Ten win by defeating Purdue. Washington upset Nebraska, while Illinois and Michigan maintained their conference records with expected wins. The Big Ten power rankings after Week 9 feature UCLA at the top with an 8-0 record, followed by Indiana at 8-1, USC at 7-2, and Ohio State at 6-2. Iowa and Minnesota both sit at 6-2, while the rest of the top 12 teams remain unchanged from previous rankings.
