Gonna have to shake these up.
1. Wisconsin: Utter domination two weeks in a row moves them to star pupil. Haven't played a good team, but who has? Defense has been great, we knew they could run, and now they pass. B1G is on notice.
2. Ohio State: Very strong effort against Cincinnati. While they haven't quite put everything together on offense, they have a pretty wide number of things they can do and will be difficult to defend. Also they play defense again.
3. Iowa: Quietly going about their business.
4. Michigan: Tough team to rank. They probably should have lost, but Army can make you look bad. What is clear is the offense is not where they need it to be to be a contender. But that's been true for them for a while and they are still tough to beat.
5. Maryland: Too high? Too low? They beat the snot out of Syracuse. This team can move the ball. Very interested to see them against a team that plays defense.
6. Michigan State: Got their offense going. An MSU that plays offense is damned good. But I'm gonna need more proof before I move them up.
7. Penn State: Final score looks nice, but they looked kinda bad for much of the game. Buffalo is no joke, but they were outgained and better teams beckon.
8. Minnesota: Hardly dominant, but going across the country and getting a win is nothing to sneeze at.
9. Nebraska: Not showing to be much better than last year.
10. Purdue: Nice win. Still shaky.
11. Northwestern: See what they have cooked up next week.
12. Illinois: 2-0
13. Indiana: Ditto
14: Rutgers: sad face
