It really is anybody’s race in the Big Ten Conference with just over a month to play, as several teams are all within striking distance of one another.

That makes putting together the latest power rankings tough, as it is a pool of a lot of quality teams without really a defacto No. 1.

For now, Illinois sits atop things thanks to four key victories throughout the year. Oregon is second followed by Michigan State, Purdue and Michigan. Red-hot Wisconsin, winners of five in a row, comes in at No. 6.
