Last week in parenthesis

PENN STATE (2) - sleptwalked, but were never in danger
IOWA (1) - sleptwalked, but were in danger for a minute
OHIO STATE (3) - needed that
MICHIGAN (5) - lack of faith in McNamera still concerning
MICHIGAN STATE (6) - win your clunkers
MARYLAND (7) - going to get a test on Friday night
RUTGERS (9) - Fightin' Schianos never stopped fighting
WISCONSIN (4) - at this point the Mertz track record against good teams seems pretty locked in
INDIANA (10) - won a dangerous road game in a no-win situation
PURDUE (11) - a conference win is a conference win, and the Oregon State win looks better now
NEBRASKA (12) - "blackshirts are slowly rounding into a sneaky good side" - me last week in these rankings
MINNESOTA (8) - yuck
NORTHWESTERN (13) - Ohio is a nice get right game
ILLINOIS (14) - defense showed up for the second straight week, offense is AWOL

Good grief. Please stick Indiana at 9

Got it, thank you.

Results posted, votes through @ELA , 15 voters.

Vote distributions are getting more normal.

The BIG movement was Minnesota's ranking cratering. Their average ranking dropped 3.8 and they dropped five spots passed by UMD, RU, IU, PU, and UNL. Other than that, tOSU was up a spot and a half breaking out of their 3/4 tie with Michigan and passing Iowa for 2nd while MSU passed UW and NU broke out of their 13/14 tie with IL.

At least half of us agree:

That Northwestern is #13, 10 of 15
That Illinois is #14, 10 of 15
That PSU is #1, 8 of 15

More than one-third of us agree on the above plus:

That MSU is #5, 7 of 15
That UMD is #6, 7 of 15
That PU is #11, 7 of 15
That RU is #8, 6 of 15
That IU is #9, 6 of 15

i cannot tell you how that Minnesota debacle happened
but i would bet it had something with these

homecoming
weak competition
late night
girls weaken legs(and minds apparently)
coaches thinking the team was in bed sleeping or preparing for the Saturday game
