1.    Ohio State

2.    Michigan

3.    Iowa

4.    Penn State

5.    Wisconsin

6.    Maryland


7.    Michigan State

8.    Northwestern

9.    Purdue

10.  Minnesota

11.  Indiana

12.  Illinois

13.  Nebraska

14.  Rutgers

Comments:

I am not so sure Michigan shouldn’t be ranked 1st. Their win over Wisconsin was total annihilation. Ohio State’s win over Penn State was 1-point. Michigan’s defense is better than Ohio State’s. Michigan’s offense is quite adequate. Ohio State is the defending champion by I don’t recall how many years, so I suppose this ranking may (or may not) continue until the last week. As of now I am giving deference to Ohio State’s championship recent history.

I am not sure Iowa can defeat Penn State on a neutral field, but for now Iowa deserves 3rd. We will find out if Iowa defeats Penn State in Happy Valley. Looking at Penn State’s resume, they have wins over App St (OT), Pitt, Kent State, and Illinois. There is no signature win, unless it is App St. Iowa has wins over NIU, ISU, UNI, Minnesota, and Indiana. Iowa has more wins; Iowa opponent ISU defeated 2-Top 25 teams. Penn State has no win that compares to Iowa’s win over Iowa State. And, we all know what a time Iowa has had winning that game in the Ferentz era.

Well, many assumptions crunmbled this week

1.  OSU
Suddenly, OSU's victories over Rut, Indy, Minn and PSU don't look as great.  Still OSU is undefeated and has a history of finishing strong.

2.  Mich
If you just look at the season so far, Mich has strong case for #1.  Still, Mich has a history  under Harbaugh of peaking at mid-season and then fizzling down the stretch, which makes me skeptical they can finsh strong

Now it gets tough, ranking #3 to #9

3.  Iowa
Iowa's offense has been transformed since the bye week.  Iowa's loss to wisc is starting to look like a loss opportunity.

4.  MD
If you throw out what is starting to look like a fluke loss to Temple, MD is looking really good.

5.  Pur
Lots of close losses early, but purdue is playing much better lately

6.  Wisc
Wisc's victory over Iowa is the only game that looks any good so far, othewise they would drop further.

7.  NW
What to do with this team?  They could be anywhere from #3 to #11.  I guess I will put them in the middle.

8.  MSU
Impressive come back against PSU.  Still they just loss at home to NW.

9.  PSU
2 tough losses, but they were at home.  PSU has no signature wins so far.

10 .  Minn
Based on scores against Iowa and OSU, Minn is better than Indy

11.  Indy
Based on scores against Iowa and OSU, Minn is better than Indy

12.  ILL
Just did nothing against Purdue, but they still have a recent victory over Rut

13.  Neb
Showed some spirit but just absolutely fell apart in the end against NW.

14.  Rut
Close loss to Indy does not give team as much hope as first thought.  Team is getting blown out by just about everybody else, including Illinois.

1. OSU: Is this team just an Air Raid offense with a suspect defense and no running game?  I'm skeptical they will finish like that.
2. Michigan: Ground Wisconsin down, great job, go get another
3. Iowa: Have to agree with this line of thinking.  Wins over ISU, Hoosiers were impressive.  
4. PSU: Almost ain't quite cutting it. Offense not holding up against better defenses
5. Wisconsin: Overall not great, but held their own for a while despite the staff seeming to want the game to end as soon as they kicked off
6. MSU: Great bounce back performance.  Did they leave anything in the tank for Michigan?
7. Maryland: Best kickoff of the day
8. Northwestern: A pretty normal kitty season
9. Minnesota: Spirited effort - very impressive how physical they were with the Buckeyes.  Might be able to bite someone this year.
10. Purdue: Good effort, probably should be ranked higher than this, but it's tough to rank some of these teams and I haven't drank enough coffee.
11. Indiana: Not a great defensive effort
12. Nebraska: Showed signs of life
13. Illinois: Pulse is fading
14. Rutgers: DOA

1. Michigan, and it is not that close.
Great defense, and an offense that has true balance, including Warriners newly added ( according to Patterson quote) read option. If that holds, this is a CFP team. They should only improve as Black and other guys get healthy. I predict when they roll into Columbus, they will already have East div. locked up.



2. Ohio State- Super QB and WRs, but one dimensional, can’t run the ball. Defense shuts teams down in second half, but that won’t work against really good teams. Could improve when defensive players get healthy, but that offense doesn’t work in November.


3. Iowa.  Yes, I know Wisconsin beat them, but badgers have too many great players injured.
4. Wisconsin, still tough out for anyone, and could improve if they get some guys back.
5. MSU- bipolar, but mentally tough as hell like their coach. Might give Michigan a fight, will likely beat OSU.
6. Penn State.  Capable of winning any game, but mentality might be a problem after two heartbreakers.
7. Maryland.  Gamers, if you don’t bring your A  game, you are doing down.
8. Northwestern.  Again, gamers, and if taken lightly- watch out.
9. Purdue. Capable of rising up.  Conference road games are hard, especially at night, and they get those the Buckeyes next week at night like seemingly everybody does.  Hint, hint
10. Minnesota- tough out when they are motivated.
11 Indiana- tough out when they are motivated.
12 Illinois signs of life
13 Nebraska- I think they are coming back to life better than it appears
14. Rutgers.

1. (3) Michigan: Dominating win over a good Wisconsin team. Right now Michigan and Ohio State have to be ranked #1 and 2, but not sure on the order. Given how both played last week, giving it to the Woverines. That said, they have not been as good away from home and this week is a big test with Michigan State.
 2. (1) Ohio State: Concerns with running game and defense to an extent, but keep chugging along.
 3. (7) Michigan State: Finally played to their potential. Probably don't deserve to be this high, but next couple of spots pretty close with it hard to judge and
 4. (2) Penn State: So close to a great season again and once again few close losses hurt a lot.
 5. (4) Wisconsin: They are still here mostly for the Iowa win, but they have guarenteed themselves the division.
 6. (5) Iowa: Dominated Indiana. Too bad the Wisconsin game was so early.
 7. (6) Northwestern: Somehow won that game. May be too high here, but have wins over so many teams below them.
 8. (8) Maryland: Wish I could say the Rutgers win showed a lot, but this year it doesn't. Room to go back up.
 9. (9) Purdue: At home vs. Ohio State at night next week. Do not count out the Boilermakers here.
 10. (10) Minnesota: Good game vs. Ohio State. Seems right direction and room to go up.
 11. (13) Nebraska: I know they are winless, but I would take them over any of the teams below them right now.
 12. (11) Indiana: Bowl eligibility still there for the taking.
 13. (12) Illinois: Some improvement, but long way to go.
 14. (14) Rutgers: Not much to say.

The whole conference of rankings had been pretty stable there for a few weeks (MSU and NU were maybe the only exceptions). Now we have NO IDEA how to rank the conference from, like, 3 to 10.

Actually, 1 through 12 are all in doubt, as I see it.

I have no problem with ranking Michigan #1.  They have certainly looked like it in two of the last four weeks (UW and UNL) but when you said:
  • that is was not close, and
  • that Michigan would have the B1G-E locked up BEFORE the tOSU game
I disagree.  First, I think you are making the mistake of comparing Michigan at their best to the other teams' average performances.  Second, the simplest way for Michigan to lock up the B1G-E before THE GAME would be for Michigan to win their next four games (@MSU, vPSU, @RU, vIU) while Ohio State while Ohio State loses two of their next four (@PU, vUNL, @MSU, @UMD).  I am not saying that it absolutely will not happen but I think you are WAY out on a limb predicting it.
