Sunday, ESPN updated its FPI rankings following Week 4. There are now three B1G teams ranked inside the top five according to the formula, led by Ohio State at No. 1. Wisconsin comes in at No. 4 and Penn State rounds it out at No. 5. Obviously, none of the teams in the conference have played a game yet.
