  • Michigan: Pretty complete team, if untested.
  • Penn State: Thoroughly whooped Iowa
  • Ohio State: Hell of war with Notre Dame, need to sort out that short yardage game
  • Wisconsin: Sort of rounding into form? They were dominant until they weren't, but still a good win
  • Maryland: Wake me up when September Ends
  • Illinois: I guess? I mean no shame in their losses
  • Rutgers: No shame in losing at Michigan
  • Michigan State: I'm stretching here, but they did outgain Maryland
  • Northwestern: I guess I have to put them somewhere
  • Minnesota: What a terrible loss
  • Nebraska: No quarterback at all
  • Purdue: Kind of a mess
  • Indiana: Akron has one close win over Morgan State
  • Iowa: The Turd of the Week. This is simply embarrassing. 78 yards and four first downs, and it isn't even an outlier.

The Gophers better be dead last in all of your rankings.

MSU and Minnesota are both very bad, but putting them last, or second to last doesn't make any sense, and the computer rankings agree
So of the 40 rankings so far entered into the Massey composite, the lowest MSU is, is #85 in Billingsley, above 3 Big Ten teams

Minnesota's worst is #77 in CQI, also ahead of three Big Ten team

ahead of 3 big ten teams is nothing to be proud of, Rusty

No, all I've said is any ranking that puts them #13 or #14 is very reactionary compared to expectations.  By the least favorable metrics, #11 is the floor

  • Penn State - At this moment, they are playing as well as anyone in the country. Shutting out Iowa is not all that impressive, but hanging 31 on them is a testament to how well their offense is running. Scary good team. 
  • Michigan - Took a quarter to wake up and remind Rutgers of their place. 
  • Ohio State - Defense is looking better every week. Offense did just enough to pull out the win. Need more consistency from the QB and O Line. 
  • Wisconsin - Looked good against Purdue as they should. Here because I don't see anyone else to put in front of them except for maybe . . 
  • Maryland - Could argue that they should be ranked ahead of Wis. Their offense is looking the part. 
  • Iowa - That was a beat down Sat. 
  • Rutgers - No shame is loosing to TTUN. After spending the past few years in or near the cellar, they have improved.
  • Purdue - From here on down, it is simply a guess. 
  • Minnesota - I'm not going to react to one bad game. Let's see how the season plays out. 
  • Nebraska - Beat a team they should have.
  • Illinois - Didn't watch, but at least they won.
  • Indiana - 5 OT's to beat Akron does not look good. 
  • Michigan St. - Dropping like a rock. 
  • Northwestern - Big win for these kids. Hopefully they don't quit on the season.

1.  Ohio State (First time I'm ranking them as #1, based on resume alone)
2.  Michigan (Harbaugh doing the same thing he did last season.  He's playing super conservative and not showing his hand.  He did this last year until the Penn State game and then unveiled basically an entire new playbook -- catching PSU by surprise.  I still think this team is the best in the B1G)
3.  Penn State - Still struggling to get big plays in the running game
4.  Maryland - 4 B1G-E teams in the top 4?  
5.  Iowa - Man, If Penn State had their punter...
6.  Wisconsin - Maybe this team isn't as bad as I thought they were.
7.  Rutgers - Not sure if any team below them could have hung with Michigan as long as they did.
8.  Illinois

Hell if I know where to go from here...

9.  Indiana
10.  Purdue
11.  Nebraska
12.  Michigan State
13.  Northwestern
14.  Minnesota

There are a couple games coming up this week that will help sort out the bottom rankings

Illinois-Purdue
MSU-Iowa

If anybody can dominate in their victory, it will help separate them from the pack.  On the other hand, whoever gets dominated could sink all the way to the bottom.
