I didn't notice this earlier but Fresno beat UCLA and Texas beat USC, which makes the Minn and MD victories more impressive.

Despite the debacle in week 3, the Big Ten is still 6-6 against P5 schools, which is respectable.  

I don't know what is going on, but the PAC also had a bad week, especially against the MWC.

Fresno beat UCLA. 
Stanford is the other team that beat USC.

1.  Ohio State  (Defense could be a problem, but #1 for now)
2.  Michigan (making a bunch of small mistakes, but getting better every week)
3.  Penn State (making a bunch of small mistakes, but getting better every week)
4.  Michigan State (not gonna knock them too much for the long trip to ASU and crazy late start time.)
5.  Iowa (just keeps plugging away - has it been three years?  Ferentz is due for a big year every three years or so)
6.  Wisconsin (BYU is NOT good.  What on Earth?)
7.  Minnesota (quietly 3-0)
8.  Indiana (quietly 3-0)
9.  Nebraska (0-2, but one cheap injury away from being 2-0.  Lots of improvement from last year, but the lack of depth could send this team into a downward spiral with a couple more injuries.  I'm sure I'm the only idjit ranking them in the top 10)
10. Maryland (Temple is NOT good.  What on Earth?)
11. Northwestern (Akron is NOT good.  What on Earth?)
12. Purdue (THIS close to being 3-0 and ranked higher than Iowa.)
13. Illinois
14. Rutgers (Kansas is NOT good.  What on Earth?)

Not to make excuses because I completely agree with you, but Temple started a new QB and we were missing 3 OL for some reason.
Depth and an inept OC/HC was our downfall it appears. 
61 first half total yards?!? Worst I've seen in a long time.

They did beat Purdue, but team seems to be in free fall right now.

12.  Neb
Not going to be a quick turn around for Frost and company.
You had two #12's and no #11's so I counted this as #11 for Northwestern and #12 for Nebraska because that was the order in which you listed them.

I wasn't sure what to do with this but for now I'm counting it as a vote for Illinois #13 and Rutgers #14.

Last week in parenthesis...

  • OHIO STATE (1) - only saving grace for the conference this weekend
  • PENN STATE (3) - going to need much more from the WRs going forward though
  • IOWA (4) - best defense in the conference?
  • MICHIGAN (5) - have to get the penalties cleaned up ASAP
  • WISCONSIN (2) - so much for thinking this was a better Wisconsin team than last year
  • MICHIGAN STATE (6) - good test in Bloomington this week, they've been a very blah road team for two straight years now
  • MINNESOTA (8) - maybe I've been selling Fleck short, this team is really overachieving
  • INDIANA (9) - with a home win against Michigan State this week, they may deserve to be ranked
  • MARYLAND (7) - 2017 redux?
  • PURDUE (12) - you know it's a bad week for the conference when you lose a home game and move UP two slots
  • NEBRASKA (11) - losing to a decent Troy team, while playing a walk on QB, is far more forgivable than blowing a three touchdown home lead to Akron
  • NORTHWESTERN (10) - don't worry, they'll figure everything out in October, per usual, and make Big Ten contenders look bad
  • ILLINOIS (14) - were a quarter away from actually entering bowl eligibility discussion
  • RUTGERS (13) - I apologize for ever even considering that Rutgers isn't the worst team in the conference

Interesting and something I hadn't thought much about.  The B1G has five remaining undefeated teams.  
Ohio State and Penn State are in the top-10 with a looming showdown in two weeks.  
Iowa is first among "others receiving votes" in the AP poll and sixth among that category in the coaches poll and hosting a ranked Wisconsin team this weekend so it is a given that they will not be undefeated and unranked next week.  
Minnesota has no votes and travels to Maryland this week.  If Maryland had defeated Temple then this would be an undefeated vs undefeated clash with a probable ranking for the winner.  As it stands, none of Minnesota's victories are all that impressive and beating Maryland after the Terps already lost to Temple wouldn't help much so the Gophers will have to wait.  They will not have to wait long though because after Maryland they get a week off then host Iowa then travel to Ohio State.  My supposition is that if they get to 5-0 they'll be at least high among the "ORV" and obviously if they get to 6-0 they'll be ranked.  
Indiana has no votes but hosts a ranked MSU team this week.  A win there would get them at least into ORV.  After MSU they travel to Rutgers then Columbus so they couldn't possibly get to 6-0 without being ranked.

The computers like Indiana a lot more than the voters do.  Probably because the voters see Indiana on their uniforms, and computers don't.

IMO, the only reason MSU is even favored this weekend is because of the names on the front of the jerseys.

I'm not sure how to even rank them this week.  Ohio State and Penn State obviously stand out, and the rest either have some serious flaws, haven't really proven anything yet, or some combination of the two.

1) Ohio State
2) Penn State
3) Wisconsin
4) Michigan
5) Iowa
6) Michigan State
7) Indiana
8) Minnesota
9) Maryland
10) Northwestern
11) Purdue
12) Nebraska
13) Illinois
14) Rutgers
