1) Ohio State 
2) Michigan 

Next week will be the battle for #1.

Drop off….

3) Penn State 

Rest of this league stinks. Rank them 4-14 however you like don’t think it matters.

funny....


fun fact...do you know former OSU coach Zach Smith does a college football podcast every week, it's great you should watch it you might learn something- he does deep dives into the analytics and really breaks things down- and you know which team has been most hurt by penalties/refs in the B1G this year according to the advanced analytics? MICHIGAN.

Welp, there goes your stupid little theory down the drain susan.

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


That first half offensive pass interference pick play not called against Michigan is the principle reason Michigan is undefeated. But they are undefeated, and as such, deserve to be #2.

What to do with Iowa?  Iowa can make power rankings very confusing because they keep beating teams they shouldn't be beating.  Or maybe they should be.  The key is Iowa can beat any of the little 11 and can lose to any of the little 11 based on how many takeaways and scores the defense and special teams get that day.  Oh well,  for now Iowa is the king of the little 11.

1.  Mich - was tempted to drop Mich to #2 because they are so banged up.  But turns out it was a weird day where all you have to do is survive.  So for now keeping them at #1.
2.  OSU - they survived.  That's all that matters.
3.  PSU -  lost in all the discussion is how much PSU has gotten better late this season.
4.  Iowa - Yes, for now, Iowa is the king of the little 11.
5.  Purdue - still has a good chance to win the West.
6. ILL - they were so close to saving their season.
7. Minn -  still can't believe they blew that game to Iowa.
8. Wisc - still has a chance to tie for 1st in West
9. MD  - decent effort.
10. MSU. - bowl game now in jeopardy.
11. Neb - team still losing close games just like last year.
12. RUT - bowl game is officially gone.  There is always next year.
13. IND - should be giving IND a bump up after beating MSU but writing it off as just a weird day instead.
14.  NW

Not my ranking, a completely objective ranking based on MOV (with no adjustments for H/A or "garbage time", just raw score differential).  

Each B1G team has played eight B1G games.  Each of their opponents are ranked 1-8 based on scoring differential against.  Then those rankings are averaged for each team.  NOTE: We now have a couple of ties.  If applicable I break those on the basis of Home/Away.  If not I average the rankings.  For example, PSU and UMD both lost to tOSU by 13 and both did it on their own field.  That is the best any team has done against the Buckeyes so they each got 1.5 then the next best (NU lost by 14) got a 3.  Rankings:

  • 1.75 Ohio State:  Best against Iowa, MSU, UW, and IU; second-best against PSU, UMD, and RU; fourth-best against NU.  
  • 2.50 Michigan:  Best against PSU and UNL; second-best against Iowa; third-best against IL, MSU, RU, IU; fourth-best against UMD.  
  • 2.56 Penn State:  Best against MN, UMD, and RU; tied for best against tOSU; second best against IU; third best against PU; fifth-best against NU; sixth-best against M.  
  • 4.00 Iowa
  • 4.00 Illinois
  • 4.25 Minnesota
  • 4.33 Wisconsin
  • 4.63 Purdue
  • 4.69 Maryland
  • 5.25 Michigan State
  • 6.00 Northwestern
  • 6.14 Nebraska
  • 6.25 Indiana
  • 6.88 Rutgers

Here is the data (if you catch any mistakes let me know and I'll correct them):

Finally, here is the updated schedule/performance table (rankings based on last week):

  • Ohio State - Not a great showing this past weekend, but it seems that it affected all of the top rated teams. But throw all of that out because it is HATE WEEK and TSUN STILL SUCKS!
  • TSUN - Who cares, they suck this week! 
  • Penn State - Are making a good case to be ranked higher. They are looking as good or better than the top two right now. 
  • Iowa - Who knows? Pick any of the next 5 or 6. But Iowa does control their own destiny, so I am ranking them here. 
  • Maryland - They played the 2 top teams in the conference and looked good doing it. Putting them here.
  • Purdue - Who knows? 
  • Illinois - Ditto
  • Wisconsin - Ditto
  • Minnesota - Ditto
  • Michigan State - Just when we thought they were turning things around, their special teams let them down. 
  • Rutgers - Are they better than the teams below them? Right now, maybe.
  • Nebraska - I have no idea. 
  • Indiana - Nice win for them. 
  • Northwestern - They are aweful.

Last week in parentheses

  • MICHIGAN (1) - Jake Moody is probably their MVP
  • OHIO STATE (2) - survive and advance
  • PENN STATE (3) - probably the only ranking I'm 100% confident in
  • IOWA (5) - how do you let one back run for 230+ yards and only surrender 10 points?
  • ILLINOIS (4) - were one first down away from a likely Big Ten Championship Game trip
  • PURDUE (7) - did what they needed to
  • MARYLAND (8) - have turned College Park into OSU's near House of Horrors
  • MINNESOTA (6) - how do you have one back run for 230+ yards and only score 10 points?
  • WISCONSIN (10) - odd that a 1 point win over Nebraska might get Jim Leonhard the job
  • MICHIGAN STATE (9) - absolute disaster of a special teams unit
  • INDIANA (14) - box score looked more like an Army game
  • NEBRASKA (11) - nice throwback to 2021
  • RUTGERS (12) - fading hard down the stretch
  • NORTHWESTERN (13) - if Illinois had won, at least they could still ruin the season for their rivals
