My goal is to over-react every week to recent results but don't totally forget everything either.  Unfortunately everybody played cupcakes except USC,  PSU and Minn and there is not much to over-react to

1.  Ohio St. -  I am following my old rule that until OSU loses,  they default to #1

2.  USC - impressive come from behind win at LSU

3.  Penn St -  Solid win over P4 WV

4.  Michigan -  looked OK for first game

5.  Oregon - did not look that great

6.  Iowa -  will get a better test next week against Iowa St.

7.  Illinois - still my dark horse team

8.  MD -  scored 50 on bad UConn team

9.  Rutgers -  another potential dark horse

10.  Nebraska - looked better than expected.

11.  Washington -  not much to go on yet

12.  Wisconsin -  struggled against MAC team

13.  Purdue -  may not be as bad as I first thought

14.  Minnesota -  Almost pulled it out against UNC.

15.  Indiana - good first game

16.  NW -  has a history of starting slow each season

17.  UCLA -  pulled out a close one

18.  Mich St -  last place for now, but they probably will get better later in the season

1. PSU – Has the QB and the manpower to win the Big Ten.
2. OSU – We learned nothing.
3. USC – A last second win over a blue blood
4. Iowa – It was an FCS blowout, but defense was strong, and offense came back
5. Nebraska – Cornhuskers are the real deal in 2024
6. Michigan – Fresno State is a better opponent than most might think.
7. Oregon –2nd most transfer portal players in nation; it's just a group of players; not a team.
8. Illinois – Shutout a good FCS team
9.  Wisconsin – Struggling a bit at home against Western Michigan is not a good look.
10. Washington
11. Rutgers
12. Indiana
13. Maryland
14. Northwestern
15. Purdue
16. Michigan State
17. Minnesota
18. UCLA – Deserves the basement after Week #1

Oregon was getting pushed around by Idaho in the trenches. That's not a great sign, heading into the Big Ten.

Yeah, I get the feeling a lot of the computer rankings at least partly incorporate the results from the end of last season,  at least for the first couple weeks of this seasons rankings,  which could help explain why Michigan  and Washington are still ranked so high in the computer rankings.
