In a week where Oregon and Ohio State bounced back from their losses, an 84-0 win for the Ducks stands out like a sore thumb.
That's not to say Dan Lanning got his squad back to No. 1 in the Big Ten power rankings, far from it, but this was a week that featured mostly blowouts across the board.
Oregon, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, Washington, and Northwestern all won by 30+ points.
Maryland dropped a tough one to Virginia Tech, and then Rutgers and Purdue dropped their Big Ten openers to USC and UCLA.
Also, Michigan State fell to Notre Dame, though the Spartans only lost that game by 17 points.
