1.  OSU. - All I can say is WOW!  That was a performance for the ages.  OSU can clinch the East with win over Mich
2.  Mich -  it all comes down to the OSU-Mich game.  Mich can win the East with win over OSU.
3.  Wisc -  can clinch the West with a win over Minn.  Wisc can also win a 3-way tie at 6-3  between Wisc, Minn and Iowa.
4.  Purdue -  can not win the West but has chance to finish in 4 -way tie for first at 6-3 if Purdue beats Ind, Iowa loses, and Wisc loses.
5.  Iowa -  can clinch the West if Iowa beats Neb on Black Friday and if Wisc loses to Minn on Sat.  If Iowa loses to Neb,  Iowa is eliminated.
6.  MSU -  has been eliminated .  Can not win the East.  Can finish in tie for 2nd with Mich if MSU beats PSU and Mich loses.
7.  PSU - best they can do is finish 4th in East.  Could get a decent bowl if they can beat MSU in final
8.  Minn - can win the West if Minn beats Wisc, Iowa loses, and Purdue wins.  In other words,  Minn would win a 4-way tie at 6-3 between Minn,  Wisc, Iowa, Purdue.
9. ILL -  now has 7 losses but I am hearing a rumor that ILL might have a chance at a bowl anyway if they beat NW, but its complicated.
10. Neb -  the little engine that could not.  Just can not get over that hill.  May be the unluckiest team since 2013 NW.  Neb has no chance at a bowl, but has a chance to spoil Iowa's season on Black Friday
11.  MD -  winner of MD/Rut game goes to a bowl.  Loser stays home for the holidays.
12.  Rut - see above
13.  NW -  is now officially playing for pride
14.  Ind -  one of the biggest collapses in recent Big Ten  history.  Probably the worst since the  2016 Mich ST collapse.

1. Ohio State: No doubts on offense. The defense also came to play, which was a welcome sight to these eyes trained on years of Tressel ball.
2. Michigan: Didn't watch their game, but they are a very sound team in all phases. Buckeyes will have to practice covering running backs out of the backfield, too.
3. Wisconsin: Got their close Nebraska game out of the way, in great shape to win the West. Braelon Allen is a revelation at running back. Talk about the studs at running back in the B1G. I think these top three teams are really close together.
4. Penn State: Can't stay healthy, but hell I have to put someone here and they seem like the fourth best team to me.
5. Purdue: Developed into a very solid team.
6. Michigan State: Limping to a finish. 
7. Iowa: 33 points, 255 yards, an Iowa special.
8. Minnesota: I originally had them fourth, if that tells you how difficult I find this middle group.
9. Nebraska: Maybe the toughest team to rank of all time.
10. Illinois: Really a pretty solid outing in Bert's first season.
11. Rutgers: Game of the Century coming up.
12. Maryland: They should not be as putrid on defense as they are.
13. Northwestern: Let's see if they are good next season.
14. Indiana: Rough year

At this point in my opinion the Buckeyes are #1 and will remain so even if they lose in Ann Arbor. The Buckeyes and Wolverines have six common opponents, other five B1G-E teams and Nebraska. Here are the comparative results against those six organized by last week's ranking:

  • vs #3 MSU: tOSU was 53 points better, 49 point win vs 4 point loss 
  • vs #5 PSU: tOSU was 5 points better, 9 point win vs 4 point win 
  • vs #10 UNL: tOSU was 6 points better, 9 point win vs 3 point win 
  • vs #11 RU: tOSU was 32 points better, 39 point win vs 7 point win
  • vs #12 UMD: tOSU was 8 points better, 49 point win vs 41 point win 
  • vs #14 IU tOSU was 25 points better, 47 point win vs 22 point

I am smitten by tOSU, but not so much that if Michigan would defeat tOSU, I would continue to rank tOSU #1. I don't expect Michigan to defeat Ohio State so I am ranking Ohio State #1, this week.
I was not that impressed with Iowa after seeing them in person. Levar Woods, special teams coach, and Phil Parker, defensive coach deserve all the coaching  credit for Iowa's 9-2 record. This week, the O-Line played better in rush blocking than they did all season even with the starting left tackle out with injury (or maybe because).

I had 2nd row seating and could watch the line play. As you can see here, it is not all the O-Line fault. This should have been a 90-yard touchdown run, but Tyler Goodson did not cut left.

FWIW:This is not an Ohio State thing or a #1 thing, it is a late season thing. In at least three of this weekend's match ups I would keep the higher ranked team ahead even if they lost:

Last week in parenthesis
  • OHIO STATE (1) - so much for being worried this WR group was going to be wasted on a freshman quarterback
  • MICHIGAN (2) - and here we go again
  • WISCONSIN (4) - we are beyond judging teams for close wins over a 3 win Nebraska team
  • MICHIGAN STATE (3) - granted if none of the guys who got injured against Ohio State come back, they should be lower
  • PENN STATE (5) - not pretty, but pulled away late
  • PURDUE (6) - see above
  • IOWA (7) - wasn't sure this team was capable of giving up 23 and winning
  • MINNESOTA (8) - Indiana is an absolute mess
  • NEBRASKA (9) - same story
  • RUTGERS (10) - more blah offense
  • MARYLAND (11) - defense might actually be getting worse
  • ILLINOIS (12) - how do you shut down Penn State and Minnesota, and get torched by Iowa?
  • NORTHWESTERN (13) - had three quarters of fight
  • INDIANA (14) - it appears this team has completely quit on Tom Allen
