In what was an epic weekend of college football across the country, the Big Ten certainly did its part in contributing to the drama.

Five of the conference's six games were decided by six points or fewer on Saturday. The two matchups between ranked opponents — No. 6 Oregon vs. No. 3 Penn State; No. 21 USC vs. No. 23 Illinois — both came down to the final play, with the former needing double overtime to separate the two teams. Even Iowa, which lost starting quarterback Mark Gronowski to injury, pushed then-No. 11 Indiana to the absolute brink.

When the smoke finally cleared, Ohio State and Oregon emerged from the weekend having done enough to cement themselves as the two best teams in the league — and, as of Sunday afternoon, the top two teams in the AP Poll. Indiana and Penn State joined them to give the Big Ten four teams in the top 10.

For a team-by-team look at the league, here's our newest set of Big Ten Power Rankings following Week 5:
