AP Poll Week 2: Updated top 25 rankings include 4 B1G squads

The Week 2 AP Top 25 Poll was released Tuesday afternoon following an exciting Week 1 of college football.
Usually the AP poll comes out on Sundays, but last night’s incredible upset by Duke over previously No. 9 Clemson necessitated a delay in its release this week.
And entering Week 2 there are 4 B1G teams that cracked the top 25: Michigan (No. 2), Ohio State (No. 5), Penn State (No. 7) and Wisconsin (No. 19). Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois also all received votes, with Iowa just outside the top 25 in favor of Clemson.
None of those 4 teams played a true match to their competition level this past week. The closest was Penn State, which dominated West Virginia, 38-15. Ohio State struggled some early against Indiana, but pulled away in the 2nd half.
