Hmm...
I think this weekend just did enough to confirm my order I had last week.  Ok, PSU did play OSU closer than anybody else but benefited from a couple turnovers.  I still don't believe there is enough to elevate PSU to #2.  Mich confirmed that Indy is not one of the top teams.  ILL's bubble finally burst this week after a magical run.
P.S.  Is MD even trying anymore? 


1. OSU
2.  Wiscy
3.  Minn
4.  PSU
5. Mich
6.  Iowa
7.  Indy
8.  ILL
9.  MSU
10. Pur
11.  Neb
12.  NW
13.  MD
14.  Rut

1. Ohio State - Of course.
2. Michigan - I think they can win next weekend. I'll be there....
3. Penn State - Played OSU better than anyone else to be sure.
4. Wisconsin - Not sure they'll beat the Gophers, but they're still dominant at home.
5. Minnesota - Losing to Iowa is still a bad look.
6. Iowa - Another good but unimpressive win.
7. Michigan State - Got a convincing win against a bad team as expected.
8. Indiana - Today's game convinced me more than ever that they've just taken advantage of a weak schedule.
9. Illinois - They kept it close in Iowa City to be sure.
10. Nebraska - Can they beat Iowa???
11. Purdue - Better than the rest, still...
12. Maryland - Now they're officially terrible
13. Northwestern - Still winless in BigTen play
14. Rutgers - As always

Unchanged from last week:

1. OSU - Margin of victory probably should have been greater against PSU
2. Michigan - Out of the playoff hunt obviously but I'm not sure there are four better teams currently
3. Wisconsin - Expect them to represent the West in the CCG
4. Minnesota
5. Penn State - Out gained in 6 of 11 games this season
6. Iowa
7. Indiana
8. Illinois
9. MSU
10. Purdue
11. Nebraska
12. Maryland
13. Northwestern
14. Rutgers

With unbalanced conference schedules, records can be deceiving. I ranked them based on who I would least want to play on a neutral field.

10. Purdue
11. Nebraska

I flipped Michigan and Penn State. I suspect Wisconsin falls to 5th next week, but we will see. There is a strong argument for flipping Purdue and Nebraska. I have not reached that point based on this week. In the head-to-head, Purdue defeated Nebraska (at Purdue).

We finally have a meaningful rivalry game in rivalry week in the BTW.

1. Ohio State: Game of fumblerooski meant the defense had to really carry the load late in the game, and they aced that call.  Offensive game plan made people think of 1998 MSU, but still - they outgained PSU by nearly 200 yards and the game was close due to two very poorly times fumbles which resulted in a 14-0 swing in the score.  On to Michigan.

2. Michigan: With the offense no longer being a liability, Michigan finally looks right.  One area of concern - the rushing game has been substandard for two straight games.  Could be by design, hey they passed for a million yards both games and a good offense takes what is given.  Still, dropping back a bunch of times against Chase Young and company is not ideal.

3. Minnesota: Took down Northwestern and now get a home game with Wisconsin to decide the West.  

4. Wisconsin: Whupped Purdue to the tune of over 600 yards and over 400 yards rushing.  We have a live one next week and I am here for it.

5. Penn State: Were whipped in the first half but showed a ton of resolve in the second.  They have a backup quarterback, and turning to more of a zone read rush offense gave them some life and showed something they haven't been great at this year - moving the sticks consistently.  Keeping an eye on that.

6. Iowa: Turned back Illinois, which is actually an accomplishment this year.

7. Indiana: Not quite enough to keep it going against Michigan despite a strong start.  Injuries really hurt them in the game and they are still a strong squad.  They head to Purdue for a shot at 8-4.

8. Illinois: Actually quite competitive against Iowa in a pretty even games hurt by their 3 turnovers.  Thhey welcome Northwestern for a shot at a winning record for the first time in a while.

9. Nebraska: Not a season they would love, but they get Iowa at home for a shot at a bowl game.

10. Michigan State: Same except they get Maryland.

11. Purdue: Same except they can't get to guaranteed bowl status.  Do they still have those 5-7 bowl game qualifiers?  Might be an attractive choice, but that requires they beat the Hoosiers.

12. Northwestern: Looking to next year.

13. Maryland: Not sure where they go from here.  Can they keep going through this with Locksley?

14. Rutgers: Schiano part deux is on the way.

1.  OSU   (LSU)

2-5  PSU Michigan Wisconsin Minnesota  could all beat each other about half the time I think  (Bama, UGA, Auburn, UF)

6-8  The three Is, able to give the 2-5s a fight  (Tenn, A&M, MSU)

9-11 Not very good  (Mizzou, Ole MIss, USCe)

12-14 Remarkably bad, but better than Arkansas (Vandy, Arky, UK)
