Paper tigers: 1. Ohio State 2. Michigan

Better than the rest (maybe): Penn State

4. Iowa
5. Illinois
6. Wisconsin
7. Minnesota
8. Purdue
9. Maryland
10. Rutgers
11. Nebraska
12. Indiana
13. Michigan State
14. Northwestern
probably accurate. this conference stinks outside of the top 3 teams in the east. don't remember it being so bad. Wisconsin is majorly down. MSU fell off the map from last year. Iowa has excellent defense but maybe the worst offense I have ever seen in my life. Minnesota crapped the bed in a year that should've been theirs in the West. Nebraska is horrible and Frost got fired. just a lousy year in the B1G.

I will say, based on some of these rankings, MSU gets held to a weirdly high standard.  The computers have them #10, and closer to #8 than #11, and closer to #5 than #13, yet I see people voting them there.  Glad to get the respect I guess?

PSU -  lost in all the discussion is how much PSU has gotten better late this season.
I think you are probably right but it is hard to tell because:

    PENN STATE (3) - probably the only ranking I'm 100% confident in
It is hard to tell because, as @ELA references the Nittany Lions reside in a land all by themselves well behind the top two and well ahead of the bottom 11.

I wouldn't want to play Penn State again.  It's hard to move them higher than 3, based on head to head, but they look really good right now.  Gonna cruise to 10 wins and hopefully score a quality bowl win.

  • Michigan - After they needed a last second FG to beat Illinois I was prepared to drop them but then
  • Ohio State - needed a late surge to end up with a 13 point win.  
  • Penn State - There is no debate about #3.  
  • Iowa - I have Iowa here because they seem to have a magical ability to win in spite of themselves.  
  • Illinois - So close.  
  • Maryland - Would be a contender in the West.  
  • Purdue - Might win the West.  
  • Minnesota - So close.   
  • Wisconsin - I may be wrong about #8/9, we'll find out this weekend.   
  • Michigan State - That didn't look good.   
  • Nebraska - Welp, back to losing close.   
  • Indiana - In spite of the upset win in East Lansing, they are not good.   
  • Rutgers - Fading
  • Northwestern - Fitz needs to turn this around.

    6. Maryland - Would be a contender in the West.
Maryland 29 - 31 Purdue
Maryland 31 - 24 Northwestern
Maryland 10 - 23 Wisconsin

Maryland, 1-2 against the West
Maryland, 2-3 against the East

I would say Maryland would possibly contend for a 3rd place tie in the West.
I would like to argue that the 5 BTW teams scrunched up in the standings are better than what appears from their conference records, but I cannot make that argument about any of them. Illinois was undefeated in nonconference games. Illinois' only P-5 nonconference opponent was 3-7 Virginia. Iowa lost to cellar dweller Iowa State 10-7 nonconference. Purdue lost to Syracuse 32-29 nonconference. Minnesota (4-4) / (7-4) won all 3 nonconference games over NM State, Western Illinois and Colorado, i.e. Minnesota didn't play anybody.
An argument could be made that Iowa is improving, but the opposite argument could be made that they are playing like they have played all season. The past 4 opponents it could be argued are just simply, weak opponents.

weak opponents.

Wisconsin and Minnesoota handed Iowa the game on a platter

I assume Nebraska will do the same thing Friday afternoon

Illinois is 2nd in the West and went 0-3 against the East, and got to play two teams who aren't going to bowls as crossovers
