Big Ten football power rankings, Week 11: A new top team?

It’s November and heading into Week 11, here are our updated Big Ten football power rankings. 

We are now in the home stretch of the college football regular season as the calendar has flipped to November. The Big Ten football division races changed somewhat as a result of Saturday’s games.

With Illinois losing, it became a really muddled race in the West division. Five teams are technically alive for the division crown although Illinois is still in the driver’s seat as long as they do not lose a game to a division opponent. Their two losses so far have been in crossover games so that keeps them in the top spot.

The East division is still looking like a top 5 showdown between Ohio State and Michigan. But the Big Ten Power Rankings look a little different because one team looked much better on the field Saturday than the other.

It will be interesting to see if both teams can make the College Football Playoff, especially if their game against one another is close. The conference may be down overall this year so we will see if that perceived strength of schedule hurts either team when it comes to the final CFP rankings.

Our Big Ten Power Rankings have been quite stable for the last few weeks but there is some movement from a majority of teams this week. Let’s find out where all the Big Ten football teams shake out as we head into Week 11.
