The Big Ten Conference power rankings just got a major shakeup, and we're breaking down why Indiana Hoosiers football deserves the top spot over the Ohio State Buckeyes despite what the College Football Playoff committee says. With Oregon Ducks dropping to ninth after their lack of quality wins and Iowa Hawkeyes finally cracking the top 20, the race for playoff positioning has never been more critical.

We analyze all 18 Big Ten teams, from Indiana's dominant five-turnover performance against Maryland to Penn State's struggles and USC's concerning passing game against Nebraska. The committee's decision to rank seven Big Ten teams in the top 23 sets up massive implications for this weekend's showdowns, particularly Oregon versus Iowa and Indiana at Penn State. With Dylan Raiola out for Nebraska and Michigan's offensive woes continuing, the conference hierarchy is shifting dramatically.

Our rankings differ significantly from the AP Poll and CFP committee, and we explain exactly why our methodology better reflects which teams have legitimate paths to the playoff. From Northwestern's Wrigley Field matchup to Washington's crucial test at Wisconsin, every game matters in determining if the Big Ten can land four teams in the playoff.

Watch now to see where your team ranks and why these power rankings matter more than ever for playoff positioning.
