1. Iowa: By hook or by crook, Kinnick steals your heart.
2. Penn State: If Clifford is healthy, they are #1. If he isn't healthy, they are, uh, definitely not that. Haven't heard what is up with him, so here they be.
3. Ohio State: I said I'd move them up if they played good defense against Maryland, and they did. They aren't world beaters defensively, but they've moved from Bad to Kind of Good, Actually. Also the offense has a chance to be the best in school history, so that also helps the cause.
4. Michigan: Won a tough game on the road, and will be a tough out for everybody. Some fun games coming up.
5. Michigan State: Handled Rutgers with their own big plays. Offense really playing well - 588 yards against Rutgers is no joke.
6. Nebraska: Here is a team that probably should have beaten the two teams in front of them, but feels snake bit. They need a seance or something.
7. Wisconsin: Defense still good, offense still questionable. Ran the ball all over Illinois, managed only 100 yards passing.
8. Minnesota: I guess, gets pretty rough here.
9. Purdue: Struggles to score, but plays some defense. Not the Purdue we expected.
10. Maryland: Two games of getting their socks shot off, let's see if they can get healthy over the bye.
11. Rutgers: Punchy against Michigan, might have punched themselves out.
12. Indiana: Have struggled, and now they get MSU and OSU.
13. Illinois: Road kill against Wisconsin.
14. Northwestern: Splat
