Conference is not looking very strong.

Depends on how you look at it. Top 4 look like they belong in the 7-15 range but they can go 10 deep into the top 40. I also don't think there is much difference between say #16 and #40 this year. 

It's a measurement of how much cocaine each team uses

When I was in school, UW had a QB that would help in that department.

When were you in school?

Last week in parenthesis

1. PENN STATE (2) - look like the most complete team right now
2. WISCONSIN (3) - tough to judge based on the competition
3. MICHIGAN (4) - not going to win the Big Ten with Speight, and Speight won't be there next year.  Why keep playing him?
4. OHIO STATE (1) - the secondary is concerning, but Lagow and Mayfield are about as tough as it gets back to back
5. IOWA (5) - funny things happen in those road rivalry games, bullet dodged
6. MARYLAND (6) - did what they needed to do
7. INDIANA (7) - nice job not letting OSU beat them twice
8. MINNESOTA (9) - after 6 quarters, the offense finally woke up
9. MICHIGAN STATE (11) - defense looks much improved from 2015 and 2016, but they can't beat better teams with the turnovers and special teams miscues
10. NEBRASKA (10) - still not sure what to think.  42 points has to be the most ever given up in a half where the other half was a shut out
11. PURDUE (12) - still think ultimately they need to pick a QB
12. NORTHWESTERN ( 8 ) - Northwestern did this last year too remember
13. ILLINOIS (13) - glad I didn't drop them behind Rutgers, but still wouldn't pick them to beat Northwestern on a neutral field tomorrow
14. RUTGERS (14) - that's why I wasn't ready to buy in on improvement after a not blowout, but not close loss in Week 1

Rutgers shouldn't be losing at home to mid tier MAC teams, but EMU vastly improved from '15 to '16 under Creighton.  They may actually be a good MAC team this year.

Based on composite computer ranking now, they are #3, behind (although well behind) only Toledo and WMU.

When were you in school?

Late 2000's (it wasn't any of the real starters)

If they go to a bowl, I'm calling that coach's work Bill Snyder-esque

Yeah, I think I had them starting 3-0, but finishing 5-7 and no bowl in my projections.

They still have non conference road games against Kentucky and Army, both of whom are better than Rutgers.

So they need to probably go 4-4 in MAC play.  Ball State, Bowling Green and Ohio at home are probably must wins to get there, then steal a road win against Central Michigan or Northern Illinois.
