Ohio State - At least until Wisconsin returns this isn't even debatable.
Wisconsin - Obviously I'm ranking the Badgers based on what I *THINK* they are at full strength.
Penn State - It feels weird to move a team UP after a 13 point loss that didn't even feel that close but below this it gets tricky fast.
Northwestern - Their blowout of the Terps looks a lot better after Maryland beat Minnesota and maybe the Purple will be back in the CG again?
Michigan - That was ugly but I don't think they are THAT bad.
Indiana - 2-0 is great but this is not a very impressive 2-0.
Purdue - Unimpressively 2-0 just like their instate rival.
Iowa - Maybe Northwestern is that good?
Michigan State - As good as that win over Michigan looked, this team still lost to Rutgers.
Nebraska - Not losing is better than the rest even if it was probably only because the game got cancelled.
Minnesota - Yes, they just lost to #11 Maryland but it was on the road in OT.
Maryland - Maybe getting blown out by Northwestern wasn't actually all that bad?
Rutgers - I just don't think they are very good.
Illinois - Possibly worse than Rutgers.

It's an interesting question how much to factor in road vs. home this season. Travel time still matters, and staying in hotels, etc. And traveling to Maryland from Minnesota is as long as it gets in this conference, yes?

But no crowds influencing things is less of an impact. It's 57,600 square feet of artificial turf anyway you look at it (ok, except MSU, Purdue, Penn State, and Northwestern, were it's grass).

A study on this would be an interesting thing. Is it the environment, or the travel, or (probably more likely) how much of each is it?

If you cannot control the virus on your team it is a major setback. If your team is unable to control the virus your team is out of action for two or three weeks. With 22 positives at Wisconsin I do not see how they play Purdue this weekend. I don't see how Purdue would agree to play Wisconsin. If the entire team takes the wicked up the nostril test, and use player-coaches, and Barry is acting head coach, well maybe. I am downgrading Wisconsin in this week's poll.
The Big Ten is unimpressive.

Wisconsin has 12 players positive, and 10 coaches. All are in isolation, and no symptoms. The coaches can return to work tomorrow, with a negative test.

The players cannot, regardless.

The rest of the players are isolated in their own rooms, at a hotel in Madison. They are not allowed out of their rooms. Food is delivered.

Sounds like they have it under control. No word on tracing though.

No word yet on playing Purdue yet. Decision day is today, and then they continue to monitor.

Thanks for the update. Which 12-players are out? I thought it was largely QBs and WRs, do you know if this is so? It is tough to play with 12-players out. It is hard to contain once it gets started.

QB1 and QB2 out for sure. Not sure on QB3, but you'd have to think with the HC, OC, QB Coach and others, it hit the QB room hardest. So, a RB may be playing QB this weekend. He was a HS QB at least, and is a senior. He knows the playbook.

Could be really interesting.

I'd say no chance PU wins in Madison if UW was full strength. None.

I give them a very good chance now.

Should know by today whether the Badgers play this weekend. Signs are maybe they will, but the number of positive players is up over 20. That's going to be tough.

Let's hope that the Badgers are able to play this weekend and that they have at least 1 QB ready to go. While I have no rooting interest in either team, I just know how I would feel if I had been practicing that long to not be able to play.

20 players positive would seem to be more than what the 7% threshold would allow for practice or a game.
