If the objective is to determine who would win on a neutral field, then Northwestern should clearly be ranked ahead of Sparty after a double digit win in E Lansing.
And Akron won at Northwestern, so where would they be in your rankings?

They would have been ranked ahead of Northwestern for at least one week.

I don't care where you rank MSU.  Put them 9th and put Northwestern 8th.  But putting Northwestern 6th is recency bias to a hilarious level.

Both teams have similar records, play at the same level in the same conference, and just played a game where the home team lost by double digits. 

It's not like we are talking about Penn St barfing up a game to Rutgers here.

Good

1. Ohio State (--) - Survived a pesky IU squad

2. Penn State (--) - Bye Week



3. Wisconsin (--) - Clobber-snocked the Huskers

4. Iowa (--) - Took care of the Gophers

5. Michigan (--) - Handled Maryland 


Not Good


6. Maryland (+1) - They lost to a better team than Sparty

7. Michigan State (-1) - The middle is still a mess




8. Minnesota (--) - competitive in loss

9. Indiana (--) - did they show the formula to beat the Buckeyes?

10. Northwestern (+1) - Nice win


11. Purdue (-1) - Bye Week


Bad


12. Nebraska (--) - PLayed with some heart, for a bit.

13. Illinois (--) - Won the toilet Bowl!

14. Rutgers (--) - Super Sad Sad Panda

NU does this crap every year. They lose and then they win.

Either that or they get off to a hot start and then tank.

To an extent, you're right. That's always been true. In the modern era of CFB scheduling, it is generally expected that a team's conference record will could be worse than their OOC. But a stat I remember emphasizing during the Lloyd Carr era is that only Michigan and NU averaged/performed better in conference than out. Of course, NU wasn't winning many Big Ten championships during that era, but this is still consistent with the pattern being old and classic.

1. OSU: A couple plays a game from being the best team in the nation
2. PSU: Still have some things to prove
3. Michigan: Defense, run, win
4. Wisconsin: Big game this week
5. Iowa: Breaking into the top 5
6. Northwestern: No shame the past two weeks
7. MSU: Surprising they aren't better
8. Purdue: Recovering from early miscues
9. Maryland: At least they beat Texas
10. Indiana: They got some fight
11. Minnesota: Still need some work
12. Nebraska: Still bad
13. Illinois: Bad
14. Rutgers: Putrid

Man. I wish.
We lose to Indiana, Ohio State, Iowa, and PSU with 80% combined certainty.
Michigan St, at home...still say we lose, once you add in the ref factor. 
So, I can "think" confidently that we beat Rutgers, and maybe Illinois.
And given that the QB whisperer can't get an UA All-American to throw a pass, I don't think we win another.

1. (1) Ohio State: They are still here thanks to the Penn State win, but something just feels off against the team. I think it is fortunate the Michigan game is at home right now.
 2. (2) Penn State: Off this week (probably a good week for it). Will be telling if come out on fire or struggle after tough OSU loss.
 3. (4) Michigan: Considered moving them to #2, but want to see that kind of performance on the road. Northwestern close game looks little more acceptable now and defense absolutely dominated a decent Maryland team.
 4. (3) Wisconsin: They still have everything in the world to play for, but this is a Wisconsin team I could actually see blowing their lead. Still rightfully the favorite in the west, but not best Wisconsin team we've seen.
 5. (5) Iowa: Sloppy game against Minnesota, but pulled it off.
 6. (8) Northwestern: Next few spots very close. I kind of hate to have a Northwestern squad that might not even end up bowl eligible here, but they have wins at Purdue and vs. Michigan State and took Michigan to the wire. Things are looking up (as usual at this point in the season) for the Wildcats.
 7. (6) Michigan State: This team should be better than it has played. That said, if play doesn't pick up, could see dropping it back few spots.
 8. (7) Maryland: Dropped a spot, but more because I wanted to move Northwestern up then them down. If had been more in game with Wolverines would have pushed up a bit, but not a good game. Still have the Texas win and dominating win over Minnesota.
 9. (9) Purdue: Bye this week. Playing like can move up.
 10. (10) Minnesota: Had chance vs. Iowa.
 11. (11) Indiana: They were in the game vs. Ohio State quiete awhile.
 12. (12) Illinois: Big Ten win this week! Wasn't too far from moving them above Indiana base don results, but couldn't quite do it.
 13. (13) Nebraska: Season is lost, but starting to look a bit better.
 14. (14) Rutgers: I know contracts are issues, but Rutgers might have to find money for coaching change here. There is just too little promise. Need to hope Maryland lets the Michigan loss hurt them twice.

I usually start with LetsGoPeay's rankings and then move Indiana up, because I usually see things identically otherwise, but I don't see his up yet ;)

ETA: oops, it was up there and I missed it.  I did this one without training wheels.
