1. Ohio State: Feel like I'm cursing teams in this spot, so I should probably put Michigan here. But OSU's offense sure looks like the best thing in the B1G, and the defense is worlds better than what they were. Indiana is not trash on defense, but they had no hope. They are trash on offense, so still unsure what to make of OSU's defense, other than generally they are where they are supposed to be and make plays sometimes, so that's a big improvement.
2. Michigan: Run the ball and play defense, and you can win a lot of games. They are what Wisconsin is supposed to be.
3. Michigan State: Team still difficult to define, but hey we get a top ten Michigan matchup.
4. Iowa: Play defense and neither run nor pass.
5. PSU: Good lord was that a terrible performance. I really didn't see that level of ineptitude on offense coming.
6. Minnesota: Bowling Green is a distant memory, and the past couple wins have been impressive.
7. Wisconsin: Run the ball and play defense, they are at least doing that. But man, if they can't get anything out of their quarterback, tough to pick them.
8. Purdue: Another team I never know what to expect.
9. Nebraska: Would be nice if they win a game here and there.
10. Illinois: Probably too high, but they have wins over two teams above them, so maybe too low?
11. Maryland: Their offense has gone in the crapper. Their defense was already in the crapper.
12. Indiana: The offense felt like they might figure something out, then Tuttle got squished.
13. Northwestern: Throw this year in the woodchipper.
14. Rutgers: Hopefully they get something going, hate to see Rutgers get chomped every week.
