Week 1 of the college football season for the Big Ten is done and over with.
Outside of Purdue losing to Northwestern and No. 14 Michigan falling to No. 12 Notre Dame, each of the other 11 Big Ten teams won their respective games. Entering Week 1, Wisconsin (No. 4), Ohio State (No. 5), Penn State (No. 10), Michigan State (No. 11) and Michigan (No. 14) were ranked in the Preseason AP Poll.
Those rankings will surely change after the opening weekend’s results.
With that, Week 2 is now right around the corner.
