1. Michigan - Looks like the best in the B1G, but their schedule remains so pathetic there is room for doubt.
2. Ohio State - ND win is the best non conference win in the B1G, they look better every week.
3. Penn State - Iowa win looks much better now, WVU win, not so much. Big plays and receiver play continue to be an issue.
4. Iowa - They have a defense and a good punter, but their offense is so bad that they will eventually drop at least one (and possibly multiple) games they shouldn't.
5. Wisconsin - They will lose to OSU, but I see them winning every other game left on their schedule, even with no QB.
6. Maryland - Only because I think they are better than Rutgers. I think their game against Illinois was a hangover game.
7. Rutgers - Maybe better than Indiana?
8. Indiana - The opposite of Michigan - I have no idea how good they are because their schedule has been ridiculously hard. They played Louisville and Ohio State fairly well, but I think the gauntlet of tough opponents may have finally broken them. If they lose to Rutgers they will be Indy basement. (see what I did there?)
9. Purdue - Like Indiana, they've played a tough schedule so I'm willing to give them a bit of a pass. Let's see if Ohio State broke them, or if they can finish strong.
10. Northwestern - NW beat Minn, but it feels dirty having them this high.
11. Minnesota - Beat N
12. Nebraska - Beat IL
13. Illinois - Beating Maryland keeps them in the mix for "maybe not that bad?"
14. Michigan State - that bad.
