B1G power rankings, week 11
« on: November 10, 2018, 09:05:04 PM »
Link to last week's rankings.  

There is something REALLY unusual this week, I've never seen this anywhere near this late in the season.  This week 10 of our 14 teams are within +/-1 of where they started in the preseason.  Northwestern (+4.22) and Michigan (+3.36) are way up.  Wisconsin (-4.51), and Penn State (-1.72) are way down.  The other 10:
  • +0.43 Purdue:  Started at 8.18, dropped as low as 12.35 early on, climbed as high as 5.33 (last week), and is now at 7.75 less than 0.5 ahead of where they started.  
  • +0.27 Illinois:  Started at 13.27, dropped as low as 13.77, climbed as high as 11.42 (last week) and is now almost where they started at 13.00.  
  • +0.18 Minnesota:  Started at 11.18, climbed as high as 7.93 early on, dropped as low as 12.25 (last week) and is now basically back where they started at 11.00.  
  • +0.06 Nebraska:  Started at 9.18, dropped as low as 12.80 in their early losing streak and has now climbed back to barely over where they started at 9.13.  
  • -0.10 Iowa:  Started at 6.27, climbed as high as 3.07, dropped as low as 7.50 (last week), and is now basically back where they started at 6.38.  
  • -0.16 Ohio State:  Started at 2.09, climbed as high as a unanimous #1 for three weeks, dropped as low as 3.00 (right after PU loss), and is now back basically where they started at 2.25.  
  • -0.35 Maryland:  Started at 10.27, climbed as high as 6.76 early on and is now at their low for the year at 10.63 just barely below where they started.  
  • -0.43 Indiana:  Started at 10.82, climbed as high as 7.00 early on, dropped as low as 12.17 (last week), and is now basically back where they started at 11.25.  
  • -0.55 Rutgers:  Started at 13.45, climbed as high as 12.77 early on, dropped to a unanimous #14 most weeks but that is barely worse than where they started.  
  • -0.67 Michigan State:  Started at 3.45, dropped as low as 7.07 a few weeks ago, climbed as high as 3.33 (last week), and is now back just a little worse than where they started at 4.13.

Last week in parenthesis, why not try to keep my transitive rankings.  They still work if you can call Purdue over OSU a fluke, which I think you can, because I'm still keeping Purdue in the top group despite being the first team to pick up a loss against the bottom group (in blowout fashion nonetheless).  Bottom half you no longer can, Indiana winning over Maryland messes everything up...

  • MICHIGAN (1) - but it looks like it'll still come down to needing a win in Columbus at this point
  • NORTHWESTERN (2) - Cats become the 7th Big Ten team to ever qualify for Indy
  • OHIO STATE (5) - defense, and particularly special teams came up huge
  • MICHIGAN STATE (3) - offense needs to at least give this defense SOMETHING
  • PENN STATE (6) - after that first touchdown, defense looked as good as they have all year
  • WISCONSIN (7) - Jonathan Taylor may as well have been the only Badger to get on the bus
  • PURDUE (4) - ick
  • IOWA (8) - 2018 just feels like one big missed opportunity for the Hawkeyes
  • NEBRASKA (9) - winning out suddenly doesn't seem like a long shot at all
  • MINNESOTA (12) - good luck ranking 10-12, I'll just go with the hot hand
  • INDIANA (13) - see above
  • MARYLAND (10) - same as Minnesota
  • ILLINOIS (11) - that should officially end any bowl shot
  • RUTGERS (14) - that was a nice play they had

Ohio State would be favored on a neutral field over everyone except one.  

The last five are obviously not good at all, and the remainder in the middle are middlin'.

1) Michigan: Obviously.
2) Ohio State: shouldn't be much debate here, either.
3) Penn State: On a neutral field, I would pick them over everyone else.
4) Northwestern: ?? Finding a way to win...in conference. This team lost to Akron and beat Rutgers by 3. But it also gave Michigan the best BigTen game it's had to date (don't forget Wolverines, ND beat you with their now-benched quarterback).
5) Iowa: still surprised the Hawkeyes lost to Northwestern.
6)...Michigan State?
7) Wisconsin? But for the injuries, this would have been a good, but not great team.
8) Who knows. Nebraska, on the right trajectory?
9) Purdue: but that was an ass kicking by Minnesota.
10) Maryland: on the strength of overall record.
11) Indiana
12) Minnesota
13) Illinois
14) Rutgers

I'll post mine later but just wanted to put this out there:  I think the two hardest teams to rank are Northwestern and Iowa.  

Northwestern:
They don't look very good.  Their OOC was horrible and the three point win over Rutgers looks even worse.  That said, they are 6-1 in conference and the only loss was by a mere FG to the unanimous best team in the league.  

Iowa:
They look like one of the better teams in this league and I noticed that a bunch of people have them ranked in the top-6.  Their losses were all close (2 points, 4 points, 6 points, 11 points after leading with about 60 seconds to go).  The problem is that they have played for decent B1G teams and they are 0-4.  At some point the eye test has to yield to the results.  

Another tricky one is Nebraska.  By overall record they deserve to be 10th or worse but right now?  I'm not sure that they wouldn't beat most of the conference on a neutral field tomorrow.  I think they are a very serious threat to win their last two games (vsMSU, @IA).
