Major shakeup in this weeks rankings:
1. Michigan State- Only undefeated team
2. Wisconsin- Knocked off the best team
3. Iowa- Should have won by a larger margin
4. Ohio State- Needs to regroup quickly
5. Michigan- Doesn't fall by virtue of staging an improbable comeback against Iowa. Loss hurts, but will regroup
6. Northwestern- Bye week
7. Illinois- Held tough against State
8. Penn State- Bye week
9. Purdue- Beat the worst team in the conference. Hooray!
10. Indiana- Barely survived Arkansas State
11. Minnesota- Tim Brewster has just been fired!
For the rest of the season, I will rank the Big Ten teams each week in order of how I see them playing in the conference.
1. Ohio State- Undeniably on top of the conference.
2. Michigan State- Beat a Michigan team that shot itself in the foot. Escapes Ohio State this season.
3. Iowa- Had a bye week, still one of the more dominant teams in the conference. Will move up with a win against Michigan this week.
4. Wisconsin- Going for 2 against Minnesota was a dumb move and if karma exists, could come back to haunt them.
5. Michigan- Must regroup against a very good Iowa team. Defense is atrocious (what else is new).
6. Illinois- Somehow stunned Penn State at home and receives a generous ranking because of this.
7. Penn State- What happened last week? Penn State is really having a bad year (massive understatement).
8. Northwestern- Somehow choked against an injury depleted Purdue team. Must bounce back soon.
9. Purdue- Somehow beat Northwestern, avoids the bottom 2 for this reason.
10. Indiana- Demolished by OSU. Still one of the best passing attacks in the conference. Need a defense more than Michigan does.
11. Minnesota- LOL Gophers.
