It looked like the Big Ten had a fairly easy slate of games in Week 2, and that mostly came to fruition. However, this past weekend was a wild one for college football, and the conference did not escape it unscathed.The West division went 4-3 in Week 2, and that has created some movement in our updated power rankings.These rankings are based on short-term results and momentum. These rankings do not reflect where I expect each Big Ten program to finish in the league standings. Instead, power rankings are mostly based what each program has looked like recently.Without further ado, lets get started:Last Week: 14Week 2 result: Lo s, 45-42, vs. Georgia SouthernRecord: 1-2Comments:This is just an awful football team. There's not much more to say. Before the season began, I wasn't sure if Scott Frost would survive the season, but I didn't Dan Majerle Jersey think he'd be fired after just three games. However, the Cornhuskers are 1-2 and the Nebraska bra s had seen enough. It's going to be a long season in Lincoln.Next Opponent: No. 6 Oklahoma (2-0)Last Week: 13Week 2 result: Lo s, 31-23, vs. DukeRecord: 1-1Comments: The Wildcats have been a hot or cold program for much of the last five years, but it appears Pat Fitzgerald has his work cut out for him with this 2022 team. Northwestern lost to one of the worst teams in the ACC in Week 2, which was a blow to the Wildcats' bowl eligibility hopes.Next Opponent: Southern Illinois (0-2)Last Week: 8Week 2 result:Lo s, 10-7, vs. Iowa StateRecord: 1-1Comments: The offensive ineptitude in Iowa City has reached whole new heights (or lows). The Hawkeyes mustered an anemic 150 yards of total offense in Week 2 and lost to their in-state rivals. This comes after Iowa scored just three points in Week 1 against FCS foe, South Dakota State. Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz is in an awkward position with his son, Brian, serving as the Hawkeye's offensive Phoenix Suns T-Shirts coordinator, but it's clear things need to change on that side of the ball in Iowa City.Next Opponent: Nevada (2-1)Last Week: 11Week 2 result: Win, 24-3, vs. VirginiaRecord: 2-1Comments: The Fighting Illini bounced back from last week's lo s to Indiana with a win over Virginia. The Cavaliers are expected to finish near the bottom of the ACC standings by season's end, but this was an important win for an Illinois team that is seeking bowl eligibility in Bret Bielema's second season.Next Opponent: Chattanooga (2-0)Last Week: 11Week 2 result: Win, 35-22, vs. IdahoRecord: 2-0Comments: Two weeks into the 2022 season, the Hoosiers have matched their win total from a year ago. The schedule begins to get tougher for Indiana from this point forward, but the Hoosiers look improved from a season ago. Tom Allen has done a good job with this program since taking over in 2017, and he looks to take the Hoosiers back to a bowl game this year.Next Opponent: Western Kentucky (2-0)Last Week: 10Week 2 result: Win, 66-7, vs. WagnerRecord: 2-0Comments: The Scarlet Knights took care of busine s against an FCS opponent. Next week's game won't be a gimme, but Rutgers will be favored to win against Temple. Greg Schiano would love to start 3-0 with what the Scarlet Knights have coming later on their schedule.Next Opponent: Temple (1-1)Scroll to ContinueLast Week: 9Week 2 result: Win, 56-21, at CharlotteRecord: 2-0Comments: The Terrapins kind of do this every year beat up on subpar non-conference competition before struggling mightily with the big boys of the Big Ten East division. Maryland will have to play well to beat a good SMU program in Week 3, and then then Mikal Bridges Jersey its exam time for the Terps when they travel to Ann Arbor in Week 4.Next Opponent: SMU (2-0)Last Week: 5Week 2 result:Lo s, 17-14, vs. Washington StateRecord: 1-1Comments: I did not see this one coming. The Badgers were favored by at least 17 points at home against Washington State, but were upset at home by a team expected to finish near the bottom of the Pac-12 Conference. Wisconsin had more first downs, more total yards and controlled time of po se sion, but didn't get the win. The Badgers should bounce back in Week 3 when they play one of the worst FBS teams in the country.Next Opponent: New Mexico State (0-3)Last Week: 7Week Trevor Ariza Jersey 2 result: Win, 56-0, vs. Indiana StateRecord: 1-1Comments: You can't take much away from games against FCS opponents, unle s things go poorly. That didn't happen to the Boilermakers in Week 2 however, as they handled Indiana State with ease. Purdue is already behind by one game in the Big Ten standings due to their Week 1 lo s to Penn State, but the West division looks to be wide open with how Iowa and Wisconsin have looked so far. The Boilermakers are certainly still a contender for a division title.Next Opponent: Syracuse (2-0)Last Week: 6Week 2 result: Win, 46-10, vs. OhioRecord: 2-0Comments: The Nittany Lions took care of their Mid-American Conference opponent in Week 2 and move to 2-0 with that nice road win over Purdue already in their pocket. I'm not sure how good Penn State will be this season, but the Nittany Lions have built some early confidence going into a big game this coming weekend.Next Opponent: Auburn (2-0)Last Week: 4Week 2 result: Win, 62-10, vs. Western IllinoisRecord: 2-0Comments: The Golden Gophers first two opponents were not good football teams. With that being said, Minnesota did exactly what they were supposed to do to New Mexico State and Western Illinois. The Gophers have another game they should win this week against Colorado, and then things get real for them in Week 4 when they travel to East Lansing. Minnesota was my preseason pick to win the Big Ten West, and so far I'm liking that selection.Next Opponent: Colorado (0-2)Last Week: 3Week 2 result: Win, 52-0, vs. AkronRecord: 2-0Comments: The Spartans have areas that need improvement, but they've also done what they needed to do against two MAC opponents on their schedule. Michigan State Cameron Payne Jersey now heads to the West Coast to battle what looks like an improved Washington team. I'm intrig
