The Big Ten Football Power Poll for Week Nine has been released, reflecting the latest standings after a weekend of significant conference action. The poll arrives following Ohio State's 30-18 loss, a result that reshapes the top of the conference hierarchy.
In a notable moment from the weekend's games, USC Trojans defensive tackles Floyd Boucard, wearing number 88, and Jide Abasiri, number 97, celebrated an interception during their NCAA football game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on October 31, 2026. The Trojans' defensive play highlighted the competitive depth across the conference.
The weekly power poll, compiled by SB Nation's Andy York, provides a comprehensive assessment of all Big Ten teams through nine weeks of the 2026 season. With Ohio State's defeat, the rankings are expected to show considerable movement at the top, while teams like USC continue to make their mark in their first Big Ten campaign.
