Not a great week for the Big Ten but it was not all bad. At least there was plenty of good games to over-react to this week. 
Let's get to it.

1.  Ohio St - OSU has shown it can totally dominate weak competion

2.  USC - So far the most surprising team.  Seems to have improved a lot from last season

3.  Nebraska - Strong win against Colorado

4.  Penn St -  some weeks you dominate and some weeks you just survive.  PSU survived.

5.  Illinois -  Big win over a ranked Kansas team

6.  Oregon -  struggling early but still winning

7.  Michigan -  laid an egg against Texas.  Mich is clearly a work in progress but should get better

8.  Rutgers -  they just keep winning

9.  Iowa -  blows game in last minute to Iowa St.  Iowa's attempts to fix its offense seems to be messing with it's ability to win close games.

10.  Indiana -  2 big blowout wins against weak completion,  but Wow!  77 points in its last game!

11.  Purdue - took week 2 off but they got good test coming up against Notre Dame.

12.  Washington -  just not looking that great so far, but they are winning.

13.  Wisconsin - just not looking very good in it's first 2 games, but winning.

14.  NW -  lost to Duke in OT.

15.  Minnesota - this is probably unfairly low after almost beating UNC in week 1

16.  Mich St -  My prediction that MSU would get better later in the season actually came true in week 2.

17. MD -  Last week I had MSU last and MD lost to MSU,  so big drop for MD.

18.  UCLA - did not play in week 2.  Weak win over Hawaii in week 1. Somebody's got to be last

I made a whole response but the thread got deleted and I ain't doing it again. But OSU is 1 and USC is 2 and after that good luck.

"We" often over react after Week 2, and 1, and 3, and 5 ...

Interesting to see everyone ranking Oregon ahead of Washington. Is it because national rankings have them so high? Oregon has barely escaped twice. Lot of claims that maybe Idaho was just a much better team than expected but they barely beat Wyoming this weak.

Oregon looks very overrated at this point. Yes it’s week 2, but they wouldn’t sniff my top 10 in the nation right now.

Oregon of course was highly regarded preseason, and then ....  OK, they have not looked great thus far, but they "COULD" fix things and look better, but that's speculation not based on evidence.  Any other team not preseason ranked top ten would not be ranked.

Florida State was also ranked top 10. Preseason rankings can be wildly wrong.

They "usually" do OK with the top ten, but at least one of them will drop hard.  The top three nearly always end up top ten.  After that, it's more of guessing.

That’s actually a very interesting statement. I’m hoping one of our stat experts, ELA or MB can give us some data there because my gut tells me you’re spot on, but I’m curious the deviation from top 3 to preseason #5 and so forth

I feel like we've seen that data before.  Maybe even as far back as the bobs?

BTW, whatever happened to the bobs?
