1. Ohio State - I still want to leave Michigan #1, but after last week I really can't.
2. Michigan - Army is a good team, I expected UM to have some problems. Also, the Gattis/Moorhead offense is fairly complex and takes a few games to be worked in. It's not time to panic yet, but if things don't improve quickly in their next game I am going to drop them big time.
On a side note, while watching the Army - Michigan game it was mentioned that UM hasn't won a B1G championship since 2004? I had no idea it had been that long. It made me think I have been overrating them for years due to their helmet status.
3. Maryland - They have had enough talent to compete with the big boys for awhile now. Unfortunately the depth isn't fully there yet. If they can stay healthy they could contend for the east.
4. Michigan State - Not quite sold on the offense, but I think this may be the best defense in the league.
5. Iowa - I actually think Rutgers may be better than last season, Iowa handled them anyway.
6. Wisconsin - Probably too low again...
7. Penn State - Defense struggled a bit, offense struggled for a half, youth & inexperience is real problem.
8. Nebraska - Ughhhh that was an epic collapse. Still, signs of improvement are there.
9. Northwestern - They would be lower, but I have come to expect more from the annual "most improved team in the B1G."
10. Minnesota
11. Purdue - Nice win
12. Indiana
13. Illinois - I think they may be too low on my list.
14. Rutgers
