The Big Ten conference is eyeing a fourth straight National Championship, and it may have a few teams that can make that happen.
Both the AP Poll and US LBM Coaches Poll have been delayed due to Labor Day, but both will come out later today, Tuesday, September 8.
Regardless, our power rankings take a look at the two teams that started the year 0-1, as well as USC, the lone team to be 2-0 in the conference.
Some teams exceeded expectations while others faced a harsh reality check, so these are the post-Week 1 Big Ten power rankings:
