1.  Wisc
I almost want to list OSU and Wisc tied at #1.  Although I still think OSU will be favored when Wisc plays them later,  you just can't ignore Wiscy's resume so far.  4 shutouts in 6 games.  Big dominant wins against Mich and MSU.
2. OSU
3.  PSU
4.  Mich
5. Iowa
6.  MSU
7.  Minn
Impressive win over Nebby, but I am going to wait to see how they do against the big boys before I bump them higher.  Unfortunately that will have to wait until November if they keep winning.
8. Indy
9.  Pur
10.  MD
11.  Neb
12.  NW
13.  ILL
14.  Rut

1. Wisconsin: I keep flip flopping the top two, and so I do again.  Wiscy demolished MSU and frankly looked much better than OSU did against them.  The defense is lights out, Taylor is the best back in the country, and their QB was nearly perfect.  We are in for a treat in a couple weeks.

2. Ohio State: A week off before they head to the mire that is Northwestern's defense.  

3. Penn State: Not their prettiest effort but everyone will take a win at Kinnick no matter what it looks like.  

4. Minnesota: What? Hey, they dominated a hapless Nebraska team, and it's tough to trust any of these other teams.  

5. Michigan: Honestly, don't know what to make of them.  Looked like they were sorting out their running game, and then the defense folded and the offense went back in the crapper.  

6. Iowa: Making life difficult for the better teams.

7. Michigan State: Two blowout losses to the best teams in the conference.  Let's see how they look against the not quite best teams.

8. Indiana: This team might be good, actually?

9. Northwestern: Really by default.  Not good, but not totally bad.

10. Purdue: Nice win to get the season turned around.

11. Nebraska: Got run over.

12. Illinois: I mean, they scored some points against Michigan.

13. Maryland: This team makes no sense.

14. Rutgers: Unimaginably bad.

Purdue just put 40 on Maryland with a backup QB. Maryland is where they belong right now.

I probably do have Indiana low, but I think if they played Purdue tomorrow, Purdue would win.

I know I'm a broken record, but I really wish #14 would just withdraw. The experiment failed.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

1. Ohio State - Still the best in the league
2. Wisconsin - Still clearly 2nd best.
3. Penn State - I'm still skeptical, but they did win in Iowa City.
4. Minnesota - Now they're dominating bad teams. Can they beat a top 25 team?
5. Michigan - Aggravatingly inconsistent, but maybe they'll figure out soon....
6. Iowa - Their offensive struggles just don't make sense.
7. Michigan State - Can they beat any top 25 level teams? It doesn't look like it.
8. Indiana - Should finally be able to get to 6 wins this year.... Maybe more?....
9. Purdue - Didn't see the game, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt this week with a convincing win.
10. Nebraska - They're better than the rest, but I don't know what to think of this team.
11. Northwestern - If they can be competitive the next two weeks, they might be able to win out and get to 6-6 for a bowl game, but I'm skeptical.
12. Illinois - They looked really bad in the first half, but I'll give them some credit for almost coming back while Michigan tried to choke in the 3rd quarter.
13. Maryland - Fully vindicated for ranking them low before the season. Now I'm just curious how long it takes Maryland to realize what a terrible hire this was.
14. Rutgers - Obviously. Apparently they're in contention for the worst BigTen team ever by point differential with the Northwestern teams of the 70s/80s.

I don't understand where you are getting your ap rank win figure. 

If it is based on when played then tOSU should have one for MSU.

If it is based on current rankings then tOSU should have one for Cincy.

Also, shouldn't Michigan have one for Iowa?

14. Rutgers - Obviously. Apparently they're in contention for the worst BigTen team ever by point differential with the Northwestern teams of the 70s/80s.
You got me curious how bad some of those NW teams were.  I am guessing the worst team was one of the teams from 79-82 that helped set the NCAA record for 34 straight losses. 

Denny Green may have been coach of the year in 1982,  but Denny Green's 0-11 first year at NW in 81 was pretty awful

Indy L 21-20
Arkansas L 38-7
Utah L 42-0
Iowa L 64-0
Minn L 25-23
Purdue L 35-0
Mich L 38-0
Wisc L 52-0
MSU L 61-14
OSU L 70-6
ILL L 49-12

So at least there was a couple close losses in there to Indy and Minn, but the rest of the schedule included being shut out 5 times and giving up more than 34 points in 9 games out of 11.

No wonder Denny Green won coach of year in 82.  At that point it was considered a miracle to win any games.  I also give NW credit in 81 for playing 9 conference games plus Arkansas & Utah.

I just checked again and on the September 29th AP Ranking,  MSU was not ranked.  Sorry about missing Michigan.  Corrected listing.
