Ranking based on relative performance in B1G games:

  • 1.56 tOSU
  • 3.33 UW
  • 3.72 UNL
  • 3.89 PU
  • 3.94 PSU
  • 4.00 M
  • 4.55 MN
  • 4.72 IA
  • 5.06 IL
  • 5.67 MSU
  • 6.72 RU
  • 7.50 UMD
  • 7.61 NU
  • 7.72 IU


Method:
Each teams' opponents are ranked 1->9 based on scores of the nine league games.  For example, Ohio State's nine opponents:
  • M gets a #1 for beating them by 15
  • PSU and UNL each get a 2.5 because their 9 point losses tie for second/third best
  • MN gets a #4 for losing by 14
  • PU gets a #5 for losing by 28
  • RU gets a #6 for losing by 39
  • IU gets a #7 for losing by 47
  • MSU and UMD each get a 8.5 because their 49 point losses tie for eight/ninth

For the first time, I have to put Michigan first (duh).  I'll go with the ranking above.

Indiana is a shocker, for me, really.

I've been very vocally lower on IU than everyone else since preseason. I expected a significant regression from 2020.

But 2-10 shocks me as well. I was thinking maybe 6-6 with 4-5 in conference.

Perhaps it's a different thread, but which teams did 2+ wins better, or worse, than you expected?

I took MSU under 6.5 wins, and Northwestern over that.  So those two for sure

I think most Purdue fans thought, especially with a very difficult schedule, we were about a 6-6 team. Vegas had the O/U on wins at 5, according to VegasInsider.com. 

So I'd say that Purdue at 8-4 was 2 or 2+ wins above expectation.

I'm just glad that the entire conference wasn't worse than Indiana and Northwestern for a second year in a row. That was embarrassing.

If you click on the link to last week's rankings at the top of this thread then click on the middle chart it compares preseason ranking to current. 

Last week MSU, PU, M, and ILL were all well above and they all won this week.

Mmeanwhile IU, NU, and PSU were all well below and they all lost this week.

I'd go with those seven.

Definitely for you, hopefully for TTUN as well.

Your don't get credit for predicting that tOSU would struggle because you said the same thing week after week before blowout wins. You were bound to be right eventually. 

Now about TTUN:
Right now Michigan fans are rightfully celebrating and Ohio State fans are justifiably down but when the long history of this rivalry is written the key is whether 2021 will be like 2011, 1998, and 1994 or whether it will be like 2001, 1969, and 1954.
  • In 2011 Michigan had been losing badly in the rivalry since 2001 and got a win but it proved to be nothing but a footnote to tOSU's dominance which continued 
  • In 1998 tOSU had been losing badly in the rivalry since 1988 and got a win but it proved to be nothing but a footnote to Michigan's dominance which continued 
  • In 1994 tOSU had been losing badly in the rivalry since 1988 and got a win but it proved to be nothing but a footnote to Michigan's dominance which continued 
  • In 2001 tOSU had been losing badly in the rivalry since 1988 and got a win. That win flipped the script completely as the Buckeyes dominated from there.
  • In 1969 Michigan had been losing badly in the rivalry since 1954 and got a win. That win ended tOSU's dominance and ushered in a 19 year period during which Woody and Earle went 9-9-1 against Bo.
  • In 1954 tOSU had been losing badly in the rivalry since 1938 and got a win. That win flipped the script completely as the Buckeyes dominated through 1968.

Its interesting how everybody is ranking all the teams clumped together with 7-2 and 6-3 records.

I thought it was strange so many people were ranking Purdue #8 while I had Purdue #3.   I was thinking they must think Purdue wins over Iowa and MSU are flukes. 

 But then it hit me.   As an Iowa fan, my rankings were heavily skewed by how much each team did against Iowa.   So since Iowa lost to Purdue and Wisc I had Purdue and Wisc above Iowa.   Since Iowa beat Minn and PSU,  I had them below Iowa.

I only got to watch THE GAME and was at a party the rest of the evening. So my conclusions are not well informed, but here it goes anyway.
  • Michigan - They knocked the king off the thrown.
  • Ohio State - TTUN exposed this teams weakness's and vulnerabilities. I hope they get it figured out before the bowl game. 
  • Michigan State - Not sure where to rank the next few teams. MSU here by default.
  • Iowa - Best of the West . . . I think. Hard to say.
  • Wisconsin - Didn't see a loss to Minn coming. 
  • Purdue - Probably could be higher, just not sure at this point.
  • Minnesota - Good win to finish the regular season.
  • Penn State - Hard team to gauge. Definitely a better team with a healthy Clifford.
  • Illinois - Best of the rest? Nice turnaround after the last few years. 
  • Maryland - Here be default. Not sure they are better than Neb.
  • Nebraska - Set an NCAA record for most single digit losses. They have something to work with, they just need to figure out how to put it together. Can Frost get it done next year? We he be there to try? 
  • Rutgers - After a promising start to the season, they ran into some really good teams. Still and improvement over the past few years.
  • Northwestern - At least they are not last.
  • Indiana - This team quit a few weeks ago and it showed badly.
