1. Ohio State - Still need work on Defense.
2. Iowa - Pretty dominating performance. Not sure Indiana is the team people think they are.
3. Penn State - Great road win against a good team.
4. Wisconsin - Need to work on scoring while in the red zone.
5. Michigan State - Impressive performance by their RB.
6. Minnesota - Not sure they can maintain here without Ibrahim.
7. Michigan - Started slow but ultimately did what they were supposed to do.
8. Maryland - Nice win vs WV.
9. Purdue - Good come back win against Oregon St.
10. Rutgers - Did what was expected against Temple. Not sure they would have done that in the past few seasons.
11. Indiana - Ran into a buzz saw at Iowa.
12. Northwestern - Got ran over by Mich St.
13. Illinois - Tempted to move them below Nebraska after loosing to UTSA
14. Nebraska - Lost to the team that lost of UTSA

Results posted, votes through @NorthernOhioBuckeye , 17 voters.

There is a muddled mass in the middle, these are the only things that eight or more of the 17 of us agree on:

16 of 17 agree that tOSU is #1
12 of 17 agree that UNL is #14
11 of 17 agree that Il is #13
10 of 17 agree that NU is #12
10 of 17 agree that PSU is #2
9 of 17 agree that UW is #4
8 of 17 agree that UMD is #7

For all but the top-4 (tOSU, PSU, IA, UW) and the bottom-3 (UNL, IL, NU) I can see arguments for almost anything between #5 and #11:

#5 Michigan, votes from #3-11: They recruit well and looked great but they also started last year looking great . . .
#6 Minnesota, votes from #5-12: They looked decent against what could be a CFP team but what if tOSU isn't all that good?
#7 Maryland, votes from #6-11: They beat WVU and WVU is usually at least competent but they also had good looking early season victories in recent seasons that raised expectations that were not met.
#8/9 Michigan State votes from #4-12: They beat the snot out of NU but what if NU is just THAT bad?
#8/9 Indiana, votes from #5-12: They had a great record last year and return a lot of people but they looked awful in Iowa City.
#10 Rutgers, votes from #6-11: They beat the snot out of Temple but maybe Temple is just THAT bad?
#11 Purdue, votes from #8-11: They beat a P5 team but it was a notoriously bad P5 team.

The big changes were that MSU (+3.65), UMD (+2.19), RU (+2.15), PU (+1.58), and Iowa (+1.45) were way up while IU (-4.58), NU (-4.22), and UNL (-4.13) tumbled. All other teams were within +/-1 of their preseason average ranking.

In this weeks game, Wisconsin needs to be to show that they have cleaned up mistakes at QB play, OF line play and DF back play. The real test will be next week against Norte Dame. A win keeps them in the top four or a loss drops them to the middle of the pack.
