Week 2 Big Ten Power Rankings Thread

[BleedGopher]

Wolverines Wire first out of the gate:

11. Minnesota

Minnesota followed its inspired performance against Ohio State in Week 1 with a lackluster showing against a MAC team, Miami (OH). Treyson Potts was the star of the show replacing Mo Ibrahim’s production with 178 yards and 2 TDs but a one-possession game with Miami doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.

Big Ten power rankings after Week 2: A new team at the top

In many ways, it was a normal week for the Big Ten, but also a crazy one. Ohio State displayed its weaknesses for the nation to see in an upset loss to Oregon. Michigan ran again, again, again and again over the formerly ranked Washington Huskies. Nebraska showed more than…

Saturday Tradition chimes in:

8. Minnesota Golden Gophers (1-1)​

Last week: vs. Miami (OH), 31-26 W

Minnesota’s performance was far from perfect. Like, really far. But the Gophers catch a little slack here because it was their first game without Mohamed Ibrahim. There are going to be some growing pains without the B1G Running Back of the Year in the lineup. One thing that is noticeable? Minnesota’s passing attack might be a real concern.

Land Grant Holy Land chimes in:

12.) Minnesota (1-1) | 31-26 Win Over Miami (OH) | Previously No. 7​

This win actually makes both Minnesota and Ohio State look even worse than their Week 1 game did.

Big Ten football power rankings after Week 2: The mighty has fallen

Week 2 of the 2021 Big Ten football season saw a great mix of intrigue. There were blowouts in out-of-conference contests, a massive upset in Columbus and a top-10 matchup in Ames, Iowa. The power rankings will not be shaken up completely until conference play…

11 or 12? Come on now.

Folks are going to pile on us because it's easy to justify. We saw the same in 2019 when we just barely got out of non-conference games 3-0.

I'm still confident this team has the tools to be in the running for the west come our final 3 games, but my confidence on whether they will pull together and perform at the level is a bit shaken.
