Big Ten Power Rankings After Week 3
« on: Today at 07:55:45 AM »
What does everybody think?  Just how bad is UCLA this year?  Why did Minnesota schedule a late night non-conference game in California?  My rankings are in a separate post below 
We are all equal but some are more equal than others.

I don't know that the time was set when they scheduled the game. @GopherRock or @Benthere2 might know.

1. Ohio St
2. Oregon -  called off the dogs after going up 34-0  @NW.
3.  Penn St -Big game coming in week5 hosting Oregon
4.  Illinois - Plays at Ind in week4
5.  Indiana - good tests coming in next 3 games.  Hosting ILL,  @Iowa, @Ore
6.  Michigan - upcoming schedule does not look too bad.  Mich avoids playing Ore, PSU, ILL,  Ind, Iowa this year.   But then again,  who knows who is good right now?
7.  USC - looked decent in cross-country trip to Purdue.  Maybe USC should play all its Big Ten road games in September.
8.  Iowa -  Kirk Ferentz gets the record for Big Ten wins against UMAss?  Yes, its a record that includes all his non-conference wins at Iowa.
9.  Nebraska
10.  Washington
11.  Minnesota - demoting the gophers but not too much.  Big Ten schools historically do bad in non-conference west coast late night games
12  Wisconsin -  lost at Bama. Not going to demote a team for that.
13.  Rutgers
14.  Purdue
15.  Maryland
16.  Michigan St
17.  Northwestern -  despite being dominated by Oregon,  I think there are signs NW may get better
18.  UCLA - starts season 0-3 losing to Utah, UNLV and New Mexico!  UCLA is also the bottom team in the MWC power rankings
We are all equal but some are more equal than others.

We only learned about the late start a few weeks ago,  well after we had booked all our travel out here. We hustled out of the stadium right after the end and barely made it back to get the last BART train of the night out of downtown Berkeley.

1)Oregon - Ducks win comfortably on the road w/o their top RB
2)Ohio State - little sluggish but I'll take it going into the bye week
3)Penn State - Strong running attack put 'nova way early they have a bye also
4) Indiana - 73-0 offense is tuned to play the Illini next week,should be a great game
5)Illini - would have had them 4 but got out of the gate slow but still beat Western M 38-0
6) Me-e-eshygan - B Uwood ran for 114 yds and D kept woeful central to 3.Next week on the road to Lincoln another good match up
7)'Skers - putting them behind M just because of schedule find out next week as they play
8) USC - Spoilt Children got out of W.Laff. with a W vs Purdue lot of penalties that will kill them vs others
9) Huskies - have played well but off last week getting ready for the Apple Cup
10)Terps - 3-0 with a Freshman QB
11)Ferentz - Offense put up points and Defense seems solid
12)SChiano - 3-0 and offense is humming
13)Goophs - lost to Cal on the road but w/o their best player RB Darius Taylor
14)MSU - 3-0 and maybe the worm is turning in E.L.
15)Badgers - injuries and a wood shedding on the road vs a hot 'Bama squad
16)N.U. - 1-2
17)Purdue 2-1 haven't looked but they may stack up well vs the guys below
18)UCLA - 0-3,ugh keep it up and they may have to portal

Dayum didn't know this, got a rap on the knuckles by The NCAA now a gift from the schedule makers. :banghead:
