1) OSU

2-14) LOL

It's just like every other year where the rest of the conference is pedestrian. College football is broken.  It was laughable that Iowa got to spend a week ranked #2.  Every other major conference is basically the same 9 times out of 10.  It wouldn't bother me if OSU or Alabama made the playoff with two losses.  It would be criminal if they were left out.  They're still better than any other team you could slide in there.  Let the best teams play and we can quit pretending that teams like Cincy have any business in the discussion.

If you somehow disagree watch the movie Groundhog Day then just hang in there for a few more weeks until OSU gets the chance to murder PSU, MSU, UM and the West champion.  OSU is saving their biggest beatdown for UM to make up for not getting the chance last year.  Harbaugh will stand on the sidelines with a dumbfounded look on his face and in the post game interview try he'll try to pretend he's Bo and speak as if he teleported here from the 1960's.  Then they'll lose their bowl game and he'll coach again next year.

Save this post, re-read it in early December and ask yourself how could this man have possibly so accurately foretold the future?

Welcome, and I thought the same, but ties are not included when the results of this thread are calculated. Hopefully we can get you to recalibrate. I look forward to the results each week.

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.
