1) Ohio State: Texas still the only blemish. Convincing win in a tough place to play.
2) Indiana: Feels like they went easy on Rutgers.
3) Northwestern: wild, I know. Their only loss was a close one at the defending champ's house.
4) Iowa: not bumping much for losing to Ohio State
5) Oregon: DNP
6) UCLA: DNP
7) Nebraska: took a while to warm up, but did their jobs.
8) USC? This next group, from UCLA down, will shake out more in the coming weeks.
9) Minnesota: best mix on both sides of the ball of the teams with good defenses, but mediocre offenses?
10) Michigan: be honest, on a neutral field, vs. Wisconsin (a battle of two bad offenses)--Michigan just has better athletes on D (but we can't ignore the loss to Minnesota, so the Goophers are higher).
11) Wisconsin: next three games to prove this isn't a fluke.
12) Washington: maybe Minnesota is pretty good?
13) Penn State: it's not that they are good, it's that there are five teams that are worse.
14) Purdue: a conference win! First since '23?
15) Illinois: ouch.
16) Michigan State: if they weren't so dinged up, probably an ok team.
17) Maryland: fought for a half.
18) Hey Rutgers, you suck!
