I have no idea where to rank Michigan. In five of their games they've looked like one of the B1G's best and maybe more:

  • Demolished WMU
  • Demolished Washington 
  • Demolished NIU
  • Demolished Wisconsin 
  • Demolished Northwestern 
The other three games they barley look like they are in the top half of the league:
  • Struggled with Rutgers 
  • Struggled with Nebraska 
  • Lost to MSU

Remember when Iowa had the #3 ranked team in the country and played PSU, which had the #4 ranked team. That was less than a month ago,, but it seems like it was much longer than that.

1.  OSU. -  survives its first big test in a long time.
2.  MSU -  May have a Heisman candidate at RB.  MSU needs to watch out for the trap  game.
3.  Mich -  blowing a 16-pt lead obviously is not good,  but in the end its jus a 4-pt loss on the road to a top-10 team.
4.  Wisc -  playing better now than early in the season.  Helps to get turnovers instead of giving them.
5.  PSU - probably does not deserve to be this high after losing 3 in a row, but they still look like a good team to me
6.  Minn -  the early loss to Bowling Green is just looking weirder and weirder each week.
7.  Pur - not sure if Purdue is really #7 but they did beat Iowa.
8.  Iowa - early blowout wins over Ind, IowaSt, MD,  don't look so impressive right now.  And even though Iowa only has 2 losses overall, its the way they lost their last 2 games so badly is why I am dropping them this low.
9.  Neb -  the little engine that could not.  Neb has an awful record,  but they are always just this close to winning.  Scott Frost just can't get them over that hill.
10.  MD - has a couple close wins over bad teams
11.  ILL  -  about half the time,  they play good enough to beat a better team,  then half the time, they just look bad.
12.  NW - ranking teams near the bottom is getter harder.
13.  Rut. - finally gets a win.
14.  Ind -  its always a mystery why a good team seems to fall apart,  but baby, you are the only winless team left.

Man getting tougher

1. Ohio State: Not exactly a dominant performance, but they squeezed out a win against a good team. We'll just ignore the Illinois loss for PSU and say, yeah, they are good. This was actually the team I thought I'd see before the season - a good offense with some inconsistent QB play and a defense that is strong up front and shaky on the back end. Plus we got a Piesman moment.
2. Michigan State: They just keep coming. Kenneth Walker is an absolute beast, and the quarterback and receivers are legit good. The defense is here and there, like another team right ahead of them. They were a treat to watch this week.
3. Michigan: Can't really bone them for losing a tight game on the road to the #2 team. They are a very solid team and probably should have beaten MSU, but such is life. It's not like they have any glaring weaknesses, and they can beat any other team in the conference. 
4. Penn State: A difficult team to rank considering their losing streak, and two of their losses come from teams below them. But we'll go with the idea that losing Clifford cost them the Iowa game and he was so shaken up it cost them the Illinois game too. That's the ticket. Lack of running game is the big problem here.
5. Wisconsin: A lift this week - the defense has always been great, and the running game has rounded into a more recognizable form. Still deficient at quarterback, but defense and running are worth an awful lot. 
6. Minnesota: Quietly rising, and all alone in first place in the West, the schedule is favorable. Still trying to figure out how they lost to BG.
7. Purdue: Another team quietly getting it done, though the next two weeks are rough.
8. Iowa: Defense couldn't get it done against Wiscy. And by get it done I mean pitch a shutout, because this offense is straight up bad.
9. Nebraska: Poor Scott Frost. I'm just hoping they don't put it all together for OSU.
10. Maryland: They just sort fell into the bottom.
11. Illinois: Stay above Rutgers solely because they beat Penn State.
12. Rutgers: Eked out a win, so they get a bump this week.
13. Northwestern: Still bad.
14. Indiana: Also still bad.

Everyone but me is putting Nebraska in their Top 10, when their only wins are Buffalo, Fordham and Northwestern, and they still have to play Ohio State, Wisconsin and Iowa. 

Many are slotting them ahead of Illinois, who beat Nebraska and Penn State. 

Just bizarre.

Rutgers would beat Nebraska by four points, and it would be dubbed a "good loss."
