Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

1.  Ohio St - OSU and Mich kind of switched roles this week as OSU is now the team totally dominating and Michigan was struggling a little but still won.

2 Michigan - Now it's finally time to settle this on the field.

3.  Penn St -  the only team easy to rank.  Clearly better than #4.  

4.  Iowa - rarely blows a team out,  but always finds a way to score that 1 score needed to win the game. Iowa has given up an average of 9 points a game in last 7 games.

5. NW -  I was almost tempted to rank NW above Iowa because NW has looked better the last 2 weeks,  but it's hard to ignore that Iowa  beat NW 10-7.

6.  Rutgers -  not the strongest finish but a decent team.

7.  MD - Looking respectable again after a rough mid-season slump

8.  ILL. - John Paddock can't pull off another miracle comeback

9.  Purdue
10.  MSU
11.  Minn
12. Wisc
13.  Neb 
14.  IND

Last week in parenthesis

• OHIO STATE (1) - defense continues to roll
• MICHIGAN (2) - running game still solid, but back to back games where McCarthy was very underwhelming
• PENN STATE (3) - defense continues to look plenty good against inferior opponents
• IOWA (4) - god 15-13 is such an Iowa score
• RUTGERS (5) - another valiant 30 minute effort against a top team, but not enough late
• MARYLAND (6) - dug themselves too deep of a hole
• WISCONSIN (8) - didn't expect that game to be for bowl eligibility
• NORTHWESTERN (10) - an extremely well deserved permanent coaching hire
• ILLINOIS (7) - didn't expect them to be the team needing a win in the Tomahawk game
• MINNESOTA (9) - is Fleck's seat warm if they miss a bowl?
• MICHIGAN STATE (14) - OSU game aside, the defense looked much improved down the stretch
• NEBRASKA (11) - maybe started celebrating bowl eligibility too soon
• PURDUE (12) - 5th time in 6 games they failed to break 15 points
• INDIANA (13) - played with some additional fire over the past month, but that still has only resulted in 1 win
