and you have Nebraska ranked #10?
Nebraska is a hard team to rank from my perspective.  I see five good games:
  • 9 point loss to #1 tOSU
  • 3 point loss to #2 M
  • OT loss to #4 MSU
  • 7 point loss to #3 UW
  • 49 point win over #13 NU
That is only 1-4 but the win is the biggest win of the year over NU and the four losses are all close and to the top four teams in the league.  Based on that, I'd rank them #5 because they appear to be almost as good as the top-4.  

Then you have three bad games:
  • 5 point loss to #5 PU
  • 7 point loss to #8 MN
  • 8 point loss to #10 IL

Based on that I guess #11?  

They have a brutal schedule.  They play eight of the top-9 teams in the league, missing only Penn State.  Then they miss four of the bottom five teams in the league, playing only NU whom they obliterated.

schedule strength #4, not sure if that goes up after the Iowa game

a "good" loss to Oklahoma as well

I agree, tough to rank.  Just interesting with the "power ranking" definition

apparently Vegas thought the Huskers were the better team than the 9-2 Hawks wehn the line came out

1. Michigan
2. Ohio State
I think you are just being obtuse.  If so you don't need to answer.  If you are actually serious, could you please explain which of these games makes you think that Michigan is a better team:


The teams have six common opponents and the Buckeyes had a larger margin of victory against all six. 
  • The Buckeyes scored more points against five of the six with Michigan scoring more against Nebraska.  Also note that Michigan had just six more points against Nebraska which is similar to Ohio State's seven more points against Maryland.  Against the other four Ohio State's scored 12, 23, 25, and 32 more points.  Ie, this is not close.  Ohio State scores LOTS more points.  
  • Ohio State's much maligned defense actually gave up less points against half of the common opponents.  To be fair the teams gave up about the same number of points against UMD and exactly the same against RU and IU.  Michigan gave up less against PSU but only by a difference of a TD whereas tOSU gave up 12 less against UNL and 30 less against MSU.

2. Wisconsin
I almost moved them up to #2 myself based on the "better team right now" criteria but I want to see how they do in the Ax game first.  I was tentatively planning on moving Wisconsin up to #2 this week but then Michigan did a little better than I expected against Maryland and Wisconsin didn't do quite as well as I expected against Nebraska so I held off.

1.  OSU. - All I can say is WOW!  That was a performance for the ages.  OSU can clinch the East with win over Mich

Reminded me of the the 2019 CCG game vs. Wisconsin.

2014?  

I was thinking that if we do get OSU-Wisc IV in the title game that other than 2014, the others were very competitive.  2019 was very scary with the Badgers taking a 14 point lead and 2017 was a continual sweat to a 6 point win for the Buckeyes.
