Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

With the current results posted, it validated something I thought I might see once I looked at everyone's rankings.

Leading the StdDev metric is Purdue.

Drop the high and low, and leading the StdDev metric is... Purdue. 

Lot of polarization in where the Boilers are ranked...

Relative to prior weeks, PU's std deviations aren't that high I don't think. 

Probably, but I would expect the standard deviations to narrow as you get deeper into the season, because we have more information and data points. 

IMHO [note: this is without really deeply looking at the actual posters or their rankings] the difference is there are two groups:

• Those who think that Purdue should be ahead of Iowa and Michigan State based on H2H and are excusing the loss to Minnesota.
• Those who think that Purdue beating Iowa and MSU were aberrations and that they can't actually believe that Purdue is the better team. 

I get both of those arguments, quite frankly. I don't even know that I'd be ranking them above Iowa and MSU, personally. I think Purdue was a bad matchup for both teams, but not necessarily that I'd say that against the same 12 P5 teams, picked at random, that Purdue would outperform either...
