1. Ohio State: Resting up for a tilt with the Hoosiers
2. Wisconsin: A thorough ass whooping of Michigan, and the defense looks as strong as they've ever had. Mertz looked pretty average, and it's impossible to make any judgments given he has played two games interrupted by 21 days of COVID. But their rushing game was back to the tune of 341 yards. What does this team look like when they run and pass?
3. Indiana: Just another dominant performance by the Hoosiers.
4. Northwestern: Another strong display of defense and just enough offense to get by. It's rare to find a Purdue game where neither team cracks 300 yards of offense, but that is the Northwestern special. Will it be enough for Wisconsin?
5. Purdue: Gave it their best shot, but at some point this team must figure out how to run the ball. 2 yards rushing just won't do.
6. Iowa: Morphing into a solid Iowa team. QB play remains an issue, which is not that unusual, but you'd like to see more than 111 yards passing when you have a good crop of wideouts.
7. Maryland: I guess? Gets real shifty around here, and I have a hard time putting any faith in Maryland. But they have two wins.
8. Nebraska: Sure, why not. They had fewer than 300 yards of offense, and PSU had over 500, but they get the win and PSU didn't.
9. Penn State: Winless, though not completely hopeless. Should probably be like 2-2, but they must have pissed off the football gods in 2020.
10. Michigan: This team did nothing well against Wisconsin. Luckily the schedule gets more friendly for a few weeks.
11. Minnesota: Just pulling teams out of a hat now.
12. Illinois: Beat Rutgers
13. Rutgers: Beat MSU
14. MSU: Beat Michigan
