Welcome back to the Big East Football Power Rankings. Every week the editors of SB Nation's Big East blogs will cast their vote in an attempt to measure the current state of the Big East. The results are below.

Want to know the quickest way to improve your lot in the power rankings? Take a bye, just like Cincinnati who jumped into the No. 2 spot. Want to know the quickest way to plummet? Get blown out by Rutgers, who knocked Pitt into the five spot with a 34-10 beatdown. Speaking of Rutgers, their win popped them into third place, so perhaps On The Banks has been right all along. 

And like I said last week, UConn is in last because UConn is bad, and they don't deserve nice things, the Huskies are gaining on Louisville though, so watch out Cardinals, we'll be tying you for last soon enough.
