Week Three was friendly to some Big Ten teams, while others would like to forget it ever happened. 

The Big Ten power rankings will have its first real shuffle of the season this week with numerous big wins and losses over the weekend.

Ohio State and Michigan will hold firm at the top after two impressive victories on Saturday. These two teams look primed to do big things as Big Ten play is set to begin for them.

Behind them though, there will be plenty of overturn. Penn State, Minnesota and Wisconsin are all feeling good after big wins, but Purdue, Michigan State, Northwestern and Nebraska all need to head back to the drawing board after bad showings.

With most of the teams facing their first conference matchup this upcoming week, let’s take a look at where things stand after a wild Week Three.
