Week 10 of the 2025 college football season is now in the books.
The week was mostly quiet around the Big Ten Conference. Top contenders Ohio State and Indiana each won decisively. Michigan, which is just one game back of first place, survived an upset scare against Purdue, while Oregon, the final realistic contender, sat idle on a bye week.

More than delivering season-altering results, Week 10 set the stage for what should be an entertaining month of November. Ohio State closes the season against Purdue (road), UCLA, Rutgers and Michigan (road), Indiana plays Penn State (road), Wisconsin and Purdue, Oregon faces Iowa (road), Minnesota, USC and Washington (road), and Michigan has Northwestern (road), Maryland (road) and Ohio State.
Before those scheduled contests define the 2025 Big Ten season, here are our updated conference power rankings after Week 10.
