Familiar name reigns supreme in Big Ten football power rankings

Add The California Post on Google Ben Bolch’s Big Ten Power Rankings 1. Ohio State (0-0) Time for Ryan Day once more to have his day.

2. Oregon (0-0) Feels like Dante Moore has been gone from UCLA for 20 years.

3. Indiana (0-0) Curt Cignetti can’t keep winning them all — or can he?

4. USC (1-0) One patsy down, two to go before things get real.

5. Michigan (0-0) Is Kyle Whittingham starting to look like Rutger Hauer?

6. UCLA (0-0) Bob Chesney era starts with a massive tone-setter against Cal.

7. Penn State (0-0) Careful what you wish for: Matt Campbell may be James Franklin clone.

8. Illinois (0-0) Illini may not contend in Big Ten but at least Bret Bielema is quotable.

9. Washington (0-0) QB Demond Williams Jr. might not be getting enough buzz.

10. Minnesota (0-0) Gophers will probably win 8 games again and be entirely forgettable.

11. Iowa (0-0) Hawkeyes are so blah you’d be forgiven for not being able to name their coach.

12. Michigan State (0-0) Pat Fitzgerald Redemption Tour will get off to mediocre start.

13. Nebraska (0-0) Why did the Cornhuskers want to lock in Matt Rhule again?

14. Wisconsin (0-0) Safe to say Luke Fickell isn’t reminding anyone of Barry Alvarez.

15. Rutgers (0-0) Might be time to pull plug on the second Greg Schiano era.

16. Northwestern (0-0) Time to see what OC Chip Kelly can do with minimal talent. (Hint: Not much.)

17. Maryland (0-0) Things probably aren’t going to end well for Mike Locksley.

18. Purdue (0-0) It’s bad when winning one Big Ten game would be a breakthrough.
