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
