Week 4 Big Ten Power Rankings
« on: September 24, 2023, 08:54:28 AM »
Well,  this was the week for any potential contenders that were going to challange the pre-season favorites to step up and prove they are for real and they mostly failed.  Pre-season favorites PSU, Mich, OSU, Wisc are for real.  Rutgers, Iowa, Purdue, Minn, Neb, ILL, MSU are not.  Jury is still out on MD. 

1.  Penn St - dominated Iowa completely. 
2.  Ohio St - Maybe not their best effort against ND but got to give them credit for going on the road and grinding out a tough win against a top 10 team. 
3.  Mich -  solid win against a decent Rutgers team
4.  Wisc - Impressive dominating win against Purdue, and Wisc's early loss out west does not look as bad now. 
5.  MD - solid win against a MSU team in free fall right now. 

Here is where it gets harder.  Nobody except NW looked good in week 4.
6.  Rutgers
7.  Iowa
8.  Purdue
9.  NW. - still trying to process what to do with NW and Minn after NW''s 21-point comeback win against Minn.  Do you write it off as a fluke?  Time will tell I guess. 
10.  Minn
11.  Neb
12.  Ind
13.  MSU
14.  ILL

could not agree more
you and I are closer than most so emotions come into it but Athan K is not the guy i hoped for before the year and it could be the new OC but he is not close to what he was last year. and the Tressel Ball just is not cutting it and you can only pound a RB into the ground so many times before you learn.  they did it with Mo and now Taylor
so until proven otherwise
the gophers should take that bottom spot

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
