1 Ohio State - Rocky Start erased by a 40+ point second quarter.
2 Wisconsin - Took their foot off the gas/throat down the stretch.
3 Penn State - You can win a lot of games with that D.
4 Iowa - Gonna park 'em here for now. PSU and M await after this week's final tune up.
.
5 Michigan State - three strong showings, and a close loss at home.
6 Michigan - I won't torch them for the Wisconsin loss. They have a week to get things figured out before Iowa.
7 Maryland - The Temple loss looks a lot worse, but they can still hang their shell on those first two outings for now. They have Penn St this week.
.
8 Minnesota - They haven't played anyone, but are undefeated. So they get to sit atop the scrap heap for the time being.
9 Nebraska - Becoming the B1G West version of Michigan, where they are the top team in the division up until the season starts.
10 Northwestern - Still not ready to write these guys off entirely.
.
11 Indiana - At 3-1 these guys could still make some noise. Next five games are MSU, Rutgers, Maryland, Nebraska and Northwestern. They could maybe put together a little bit of a run there. Or not.
12 Illinois - Both losses were close.
13 Purdue - One of the losses was close, and the other wasn't.
14 Rutgers - I'll move them up a spot or three if they can catch the Wolverines napping this week.
