All three of those squads had convincing wins in Week 1 of the B1G season. Ohio State defeated Nebraska 52-17 while Michigan took care of Minnesota 49-24 and Wisconsin pummeled Illinois 45-7.

Penn State is next on the list at (+6600), and with Indiana (+15000) make up the only other league teams to make the top-20. The Hoosiers got a big boost this weekend after a thrilling overtime win, defeating the Nittany Lions 36-35 in Bloomington.
