1. OSU - Absolutely destroys Wisconsin
2. Mich - holds off MD in first real test
3. Minn - dominates MSU. Minn is looking good on both offense and defense
4. PSU - solid but unimpressive victory over MAC team this week but still has some impressive wins over Auburn, Purd earlier.
Now I am stuck. #5 to #12 seem very fluid to me. Nobody really deserves to be as high as #5 or even #6
5. MD - this may be too high but MD seems to be better this year.
6. Iowa. - defense and special teams rescue Iowa again. This seems too high but Iowa just seems to find ways to win games that they shouldn't.
7. Wisc - this seems too high but not going to drop them too far.
8. MSU - based on last 2 weeks, MSU should be lower but I expect MSU to play better.
9. Purd - maybe it's time to concede that Purdue's defense is not great and Jeff Brahm's use of clock does not help the defense.
10. ILL - one last minute drive from being undefeated yet still not convinced they are good. Next game against Wisc will be a good test.
11. Ind - not sure what to make of this team.
12. Rut - you have to beat Iowa by winning the turnover battle.
13. NW - ugh. Usually this time of year is when NW magicly gets better. What is going on? Losing to FCS and MAC teams. Team is just looking awful.
14. Neb - it becomes a bigger mystery each week how this team lost to NW
