It will be an interesting weekend in these rankings particularly for those teams ranked #3 through #8:

The two teams tied for 1st/2nd (tOSU and UW) are both huge favorites so they can't prove much this weekend and they certainly shouldn't lose so there should not be much change at the very top of the rankings.

Here is where it gets interesting:

#3 MSU (@ASU),
#4 PSU (@Pitt),
#6 NU (vs Dook), and
#7 Iowa (vs ISU)

all have relatively challenging games so there is a LOT of potential for movement among #3 through #8. Honestly, any of the six could be #3 or #8 or just about anywhere in between in next week's rankings with nothing more than a few mild upsets one way or the other.

1. OSU
Looking like the dominant team right now

2. Wisc
Great defense. Great running back

3. PSU
Hyde and Jeckl performances in week 1 and week 2. Real team is somewhere in the middle. McSorley is the real deal though. THE QB you want leading your team in the last 2 minutes.

4. MD
Not sure if MD should be this high, but going to give them credit for some decent victories in first 2 weeks.

5. MSU
MSU Probably doesn"t deserve to be this high based on first 2 weeks but willing to give MSU a pass. Traveling to Arizona State for a late night game has always been a tough game for Big Ten teams.

6. Iowa
Iowa has a truly great defensive line and overall good defense, but an equally sucky offense.

7. Mich
It would have been tempting to move Mich higher based on its dominance of WMU, but going to wait to see if they can do it 2 games in a row.

8. Indy
Well, at least they won against an ACC team.

9. NW
NW may have some issues

10. Minn
Beating MWC team by 1 TD, while at home, does not suggest Minn is a great team

11. Neb
Showed some flashes against Col they may be good, but Neb has some issues with QB depth.

12. Rut
As bad as they were against OSU in week 2, at least they had a solid victory in week 1.

13. Pur
After an 0-2 start, and losing to a MAC team, I have no choice but to demote Purdue big time.

14. ILL
Winning but boy they still look awful.

1. Ohio State: A Ohio State that plays defense is a very good team. I am thorough impressed by Dwayne Haskins, and the offense has a tough out on their hands going to JerryWorld and TCU. But if the defense stays in position and doesn't get bent on big plays, they will be tough to beat.

2. Wisconsin: Finally got going to put down New Mexico. Nothing surprising here, if you can't stop their run game you might as well go home.

3. Michigan: Offense got uncorked and defense figured it out. A lot like Wisconsin, really, except with probably not as solid up front. Still, run the ball, play defense.

4. Penn State: Also got uncorked a but and looked like a real live team in the second half. But can they put two good halves together?

5. Michigan State: Lived up to the proud B1G tradition of losing in the desert. They have a great QB and a good defense. But gah, they need to run the ball.

6. Iowa: Didn't forget about them this week, and they played some tight defense.

7. Minnesota: Nice win and some solid defense against Fresno.

8. Maryland: A third of their way to bowl eligibility.

9. Nebraska: They fought hard, but mistakes took them out. Hopefully that QB is healthy.

10. Indiana: Well now, Indiana winning with defense.

11. Northwestern: Got a great effort against the Dukies, though I imagine they will end up in the middle of this by the end of the season.

12. Purdue: Nope

13. Rutgers: Ouch

14. Illinois: At least they picked up a win

Good
1. Wisconsin (--) 1st quarter struggles aside, Dominate again
2. Penn State (--) PSU that good or Pitt made that many mistakes?
3. Ohio State (--) soggy wet fun
4. Iowa (+2) controlled the 4th
5. Michigan (--) beating hapless opponents with regularity
6. Michigan State (-2) hard playing late on the left coast
7. Maryland (--) 28 point 4th quarter to pull away

Bad
8. Minnesota (+3) - I'm just making up stuff here, Minnesota is the last team I placed and got sorted here in order for me to keep the +/- 3 guideline in check.
9. Indiana (+3) - held onto a P5 win
10. Nebraska (-3) - entertaining game
11. Northwestern (-3) - paging NW offense
12. Purdue (-2) - not looking good
13. Illinois (+1) - 2-0 is 2-0 baby!
14. Rutgers (-1) - starting my 2018 petition to drop this school

1. Ohio State (1) (4) Top of the class. Dwayne Haskins is one of the best QBs in NCAA football. 20 for 23 / 233 yards, 4-TDs.
2. Wisconsin (2) (3) Good on both sides of the ball.
3. Penn State (8) (5) They have weapons if they learn how to use them.
4. Indiana (4) (11) #s 4, 5, 6, and 7 are relatively equal.
5. Iowa (5) (6) Defeated a solid Iowa State team, but where is the offense?
6. Michigan State (7) (1) Gave it up at the end as so many Big Ten teams do when playing in the desert.
7. Michigan (9) (2) Just when a team needs a cupcake they got one.
8. Minnesota (11) (9) Defeated a solid Fresno State team.
9. Maryland (10) (14) I am not buying in yet. Texas defeated Tulsa by 1-TD. Maryland struggles with BG until the 4^th Qtr.
10. Northwestern (3) (8) I thought they would defeat Duke. Not impressed today.
11. Nebraska (12) (10) It takes more than a coach to win, and now they probably have some QB depth issues that will be on display.
12. Rutgers (13) (13) Rutgers scored on Ohio State, but not much else good this week.
13. Purdue (6) (7) Ouch! Lost again.
14. Illinois (14) (12) Still undefeated, but struggled much of the game against an FCS team.

1 Ohio State - Near perfect performance against a Divisional opponent

2 Penn State - Blew out a rival on the road

3 Wisconsin - jury still out until @Iowa

4 Maryland - wound up putting a pretty good licking on BG, as an encore to their Texas performance

5 Iowa - Big rivalry win against what should be a strong Cyclone team

6 Michigan - beat the top Michigan Mac team like a drum

7 Michigan State - can't ding 'em too bad for losing @ASU in the wee hours of the morn

8 Indiana - lost in the shuffle is Indiana's win over Virginia

9 Northwestern - and, back to Earth

10 Nebraska - lost to a team that has zero chance of winning the Pac South

11 Minnesota - underwhelming 2-0, but 2-0 nonetheless

12 Illinois - just win baby

13 Rutgers - Brutal performance

14 Purdue - Winless, Lost to Eastern Michigan
