Big Ten football power rankings after spring portal closes: Did Wolverines get better?

With the spring football transfer portal officially closed, no one is immune to the effects of players choosing to leave, not even the defending National Champion Michigan Wolverines. After losing multiple players to the NFL draft, the Wolverines have also lost players to the portal, but rest assured they are still Michigan football.

With the addition of four teams from the Pac-12, the Big Ten will finally have solid competition other than just Michigan and Ohio State. Almost every team in the conference was able to build up their roster either in the winter or spring portal.

However, after the spring portal, which teams got better? Which teams got worse? Which teams didn't have really any change at all? Here are the Big Ten power rankings after the spring football transfer porta closed.

The Hoosiers didn't pick up any players in the spring window, but they unfortunately saw 15 guys head into the portal. All together, they lost 39 players between the winter and spring windows and only brought in 24 guys.

Of those 24 players, they are only bringing in five guys from other power conferences, the rest come from smaller programs, with a big influx of players coming from James Madison following their former head coach Curt Cignetti.

Indiana didn;t have a good 2023 season and even with a new head coach, hopes aren't high for 2024, especially with their performance in the spring window.
