1. PENN STATE (1) - As a PSU homer is till feel comfortable with them on top. Unlike Taco, I see improvement by every unit save the OL. I guess JF is hell bent on getting SB the Trophy but still building for next year. That is the only reason for the tweaks to the OL grouping/positions during th off season, as they haven't paid off yet this season.
2. WISCONSIN (2) - one of these weeks they are going to dig themselves too deep a hole.
3. MICHIGAN (3) - bye week -
4. OHIO STATE (4) - not sure if they are building confidence or getting lulled into a false sense of security - They by far and away have the most talent, can and will it come together this season.
5. MARYLAND (8) - no idea what to do with them, but UCF looks really good, and nobody else has a pair of road wins nearly as good as Texas and Minnesota. DJ has these guys believing and playing hard.
6. MICHIGAN STATE (9) - defense is for real, particularly against the run, but the OL means they can't do enough in the trenches against the better teams
7. IOWA (6) - defense played the ultimate bend but don't break, but it wasn't enough
8. PURDUE (10) - Indiana and Minnesota looked so bad, Boiler move up 2 spots during a bye week
9. MINNESOTA (5) - lose at home to a team using a 3rd string QB making his first career start?
10. INDIANA (7) - I think it's time to pull the plug on Lagow and play for 2018.
11. NORTHWESTERN (11) - couldn't capitalize on first half turnovers
12. NEBRASKA (12) - at least they proved a solid gap between them and the bottom 2
13. ILLINOIS (13) - 2 and out for Lovie? I doubt he'd care .. does he even want this job or is it just paying the bills? Would anyone wan this job?
14. RUTGERS (14) - if they want Schiano back next year, that wasn't the best display of the roster he'd be taking over. Blah
