1. (2) Ohio State
2. (1) Michigan
3. (7) Penn State
4. (8) Wisconsin
5. (5) Michigan State
6. (9) Iowa
7. (4) Northwestern
8. (13) Illinois
9. (12) Maryland
10. (14) Rutgers
11. (3) Nebraska
12. (6) Minnesota
13. (10) Indiana
14. (11) Purdue

I don't think the first week means much, but it does in my rankings. If you play an FCS team and nearly get beat, like Minnesota, I am docking you. If you play an apparently substantial team, like Wisconsin, and pound them, I am rewarding you.

Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Illinois made the biggest impressions.

1. Michigan: Not exactly the shock and awe fans were hoping for, but you could see the offense had a more explosive gear despite some health problems.  I wasn't impressed with trying to wedge in two quarterbacks when you are trying to master a new offense.  Also, the defense looked a crumb worse than I expected.  Still, this team can play defense, run the ball, and now take deep shots.  That's a tough combo to beat.

2. Ohio State: Truly a best of times, worst of times scenario.  The offense looked amazing for a quarter, the defense looked amazing for a half.  Overall, the biggest issue was that the running game was still a little wobbly, and Fields was just a hair slow pulling the trigger.  However, he was efficient and accurate throwing, and showed he can make big plays in the running game if the coaches let him.  The defense looks worlds better than last year.

3. Penn State: Unlike the top two, looked completely dominant against their jobber opponent.  Though they probably should have measured Idaho's pulse for signs of life before the game started.

4. Wisconsin: Giving them a bump for going on the road and wiping out South Florida.  A Wisconsin team with a functional passing game is a very strong team.

5. Michigan State: Guh.  Defense still strong, but man did we want to see some improvement out of the offense.  

6. Iowa: Still got that Iowa feeling.

7. Minnesota: Not a great looking effort, but perhaps they can row the boat to more consistency this year.

8. Maryland: Blasted the bejeezus out of poor Howard.

9. Purdue: This team needs a pep talk from Jim Tressel.

10. Nebraska: Lump them in with the disappointed in their start group.

11. Northwestern: Probably too low, honestly forgot about them.  Kind of like how they forgot their offense.

12. Illinois: An actual pretty doinant effort against Akron.

13. Indiana: Offense a bit more functional.  Defense not so much.

14. Rutgers: They will always have that time they scored 31 in a quarter.

1. Wisconsin - Not sold on them, but give them credit for shutting out what should be a decent USF team.
2. Michigan - Should've been more definitive (2 dumb TOs lead to TDs and some missed opportunities on offense), but I was definitely encouraged by the new offense.
3. Ohio State - Dominated early. I didn't watch it so I'm not sure if / how many of their starters were taken out in the second half.
4. Penn State - Yes they won convincingly but Idaho is really that bad.
5. Michigan State - Great defense but still bad on offense.
6. Iowa - Struggled early against Miami OH but dominated the second half.
7. Northwestern - Stanford is a good team, and they nearly came back to beat them, but they looked even worse than usual on offense.
8. Minnesota - Only this high due to preseason expectations, considering they struggled with South Dakota State. We'll see....
9. Illinois - Only this high by default and surprisingly dominating Akron, which is probably still a bad MAC team, to be sure.
10. Purdue - Just a big choke against Nevada, which might be a MWC contender to be fair.
11. Nebraska - South Alabama was a bad team last year so struggling with them is a bad sign.
12. Maryland - Maybe I should give them more credit for annihilating a bad team, but I'm still skeptical.
13. Indiana - Struggled with Ball State, which was a bad MAC team last year.
14. Rutgers - Horrible start and then dominated, but I still think that might be their last win of the season

I wouldn't change anything except that Nebraska may be not as good as I had been thinking preseason.

The lower half is "NVG", but that is true for every conference it would appear.  The bottom of the SEC looks worse than usual.
