I will be moving Neb down a lot and moving ILL up a little.

If Neb had a good recent history of cleaning up its own mistakes and getting better during each season,  I would cut them some slack early in this season, but they don't typically get better,  so I expect them to continue to struggle.

I may have under-estimated the value of the Illinois super seniors that stuck around for another year,  but thats an advantage that will diminish as the season progesses.  I may have also under-estimated the ILL backup QB, who turned out to be Rutgers veteran transfer Art Sitkowski, who looked really good when pressed into service on Sat.  Could Sitkowski end up being Big Ten comeback player of the year in 2021?  Is there actually an award like that?

I wonder if there are any other teams with a lot of super seniors and veteran transfers.  I think most teams, last years seniors were just ready to move on after the 2020 year from hell.

Yeah, I guess just move Illini up to #12 and drop Nebraska to #14 for me.

I say leave everything the way it is... No use in making everyone update based on week 0. 

Everything before what we learned this weekend is preseason. Everything we'll learn after the upcoming weekend is week 1. It just so happens that two teams will have two games to judge on.

In recent years, you could start with one team at the top and one at the bottom and then mess around with 4-5 teams nearest the bottom in random order.
