1. Ohio State - What else is there to say? The Goliath of the B1G
2. Wisconsin - Jonathan Taylor is incredible.
3. Michigan - Rising up the rankings again. They need to develop an offense soon if they want to stay this high.
4. Iowa - I think if they had played Michigan at home they would have won. That game could have gone either way.
5. Michigan State - They may be the 3rd best team in the conference, but at this point they have two losses. Honestly, spots 3-5 are so close...
6. Penn State - I know that everyone is putting them at #3, but I think that's a mistake. The Penn State offense has struggled against good to average defenses, they will struggle mightily against a strong Iowa defense. Especially at night in Kinnick. The defense looks good, but they are vulnerable to the big play. They will lose Saturday night.
7. Minnesota - That was a complete game. Confidence is a dangerous thing, and the improvement from week to week is noticeable. I'm not a believer yet, but I'm getting close...
8. Nebraska - No shame in losing to OSU, and I probably shouldn't be penalizing them so much for an overtime loss to Colorado. Still, something doesn't quite seem right about this team yet...
9. Indiana - I still feel like this may be a sneaky good team.
10. Northwestern - Unlike in years past, they keep finding ways to lose the close games.
11. Maryland - This team is so confusing. Is Rutgers really THAT bad? Maybe Maryland is better than we think, but had a two week brain fart.
12. Purdue - There are a LOT of very good young players on this team. Unfortunately, half of them are injured. Still, I love the fight they showed against PSU. David Bell is the real deal, and they've got a freshman defensive lineman that may be the best player Penn State has seen all year.
13. Illinois -
14. Rutgers -
