After a half-dozen conference games scattered through September, the bulk of the Big Ten schedule kicks off in Week 5.
The Big Ten opens its conference season with six teams ranked in the AP Top 25 including No. 3 Ohio State, No. 8 Oregon, No. 9 Penn State, with No. 12 Michigan up six spots on a 27-24 win over No. 13 USC in Week 4, and No. 19 Illinois up five spots after their 31-24 win dropped Nebraska from the Top 25 — at least six Big Ten teams factoring in the AP rankings each week so far this season.
