Through five weeks of college football, the top of the Big Ten East remains a close race between Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State, who are all unbeaten. The Big Ten West is still a tight race as well, with 6 of 7 teams holding a 1-1 conference record. Wisconsin falls to the bottom of the west, contributing to the recent firing of former 8 year head coach, Paul Chryst.
