Week 1 is in the books, and the pollsters now have actual game action to evaluate for their Top 25 rankings.
When the preseason polls came out prior to Week 1, the Big Ten had four teams in the top 10 of the Coaches Poll and three in the Top 10 of the AP, with Michigan just missing the cut at No. 11. This week the polls and roles are switched, as the Week 2 polls were released with four Big Ten teams (Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan and Wisconsin) in the AP Top 10 and three in the Coaches, with Wisconsin dropping just below the cut from No. 10 to No. 11. The Big Ten didn't have any teams ranked lower than No. 11 in either poll.
