​Aside from two nonconference games and a few in-conference games, the Big Ten handled business on Saturday. But the slate wasn’t exactly marquee.Michigan State did lose to Notre Dame, as expected, while Maryland laid an egg against a James Franklin-led Virginia Tech. There were two Big Ten games on Saturday, with UCLA hosting Purdue and Rutgers hosting USC, but other than Northwestern hosting Colorado, there weren’t many big games this week.Michigan blew out UTEP, Indiana routed Western Kentucky, Ohio State destroyed Kent State, Penn State handled Buffalo, Iowa annihilated Northern Iowa, Minnesota beat Akron, Wisconsin eventually overwhelmed Eastern Michigan, Nebraska jumped on North Dakota, Illinois took out Southern Illinois, and Washington beat Eastern Washington. But not all games were easy.There’s been a major shift across our Big Ten power rankings coming out of Week 3. Here is the latest.18. Purdue Boilermakers (1-2)Last Week: 17Week 3 result: UCLA 52, Purdue 38Credit to Purdue’s offense for hanging in, but the defense was abysmal against the Bruins. Allowing nearly 400 yards of rushing isn’t exactly confidence-inspiring. This doesn’t appear to be a team that’s turning the corner, and though the Boilermakers made it a game by halftime, it cannot get stops, and it cannot handle teams that have any sort of offense.17. Rutgers Scarlet Knights (0-3)Last week: 18Week 3 result: USC 42, Rutgers 35Rutgers rose after a loss because it surprisingly made it a game against a ranked USC team after two debilitating losses to UMass and Boston College. It was the most competitive game of the three weeks. If it weren’t for Dylan Lonergan’s two interceptions, it might have been a different result, so this was a step in the right direction, but it didn’t equate to a win.16. Maryland Terrapins (2-1)Last week: 12Week 3 result: Virginia Tech 35, Maryland 26So much for September magic in College Park. The Terps had been phenomenal in the first two weeks, but once they finally played a real team, they faltered in a big way. While they fought back, allowing the Hokies to jump out to a big lead didn’t help matters. The pass game and run defense were good, but the pass defense and run game were both subpar.15. Minnesota Golden Gophers (2-1)Last week: 16Week 3 result: Minnesota 41, Akron 7The Gophers rebounded from the Mississippi State loss by dominating Akron. The run game and the defense thrived, but Drake Lindsey didn’t exactly take a step forward with just 55% passing for 204 yards. In a game where there should have been fewer mistakes, they still didn’t look quite as solid as they did in the first week. With Michigan coming up in a few weeks, we’ll know more about Minnesota then.14. Michigan State Spartans (2-1)Last week: 13Week 3 result: Notre Dame 27, Michigan State 10The offense didn’t exactly light things up against the Irish, and yet, MSU made it a game for three quarters. The defense was solid, keeping the No. 3 team to just 27 points at home, but the o
