... out a simultaneous sigh of relief as the 2010 season kicked off over the weekend.

Fans of the Big Ten conference weren't disappointed with the outcome of the season's first weekend of action. Big Ten teams posted a record of 9-2 in college football's opening weekend of play.  

Most teams played weaker competition, but the league's best looked spectacular. As a result, week one power rankings haven't changed much since the preseason. 

A few teams were able to help their own cause and work the way up the ranks, but nothing too dramatic transpired to change the landscape of the conference power rankings.

Not yet, anyway.
