Not a lot of big changes from last week. Maryland almost pulled it out vs. Penn State so it looks like they still are going to try to make a season out of it. I bumped them up three spots. No other big movers.

Last Weeks in parenthesis. Northwestern moved above Wisconsin. Maryland above Indiana and Rutgers.

1. (1) Ohio State: Finally looked like the team we hoping from the get go.
2. (2) Michigan State: Indiana hung around and then the Spartans pushed them away.
3. (3) Iowa: Idle. Undefeated.
4. (4) Michigan: Idle.
5. (6) Northwestern: I expected the Wildcats to drop in my rankings, but instead am pushing them up a spot. While I think Wisconsin will beat them, for the moment, Northwestern's wins look better and last week vs. Nebraska they won by the same amount Wisconsin did.
6. (5) Wisconsin: Did what they were supposed to vs. the Illini.
7. (7) Illinois: Expected them to lose to Wisconsin. They may be a little too high on here, but I like the rebound and we will see this week as we get Illinois vs. Penn State.
8. (8) Penn State: Good win vs. Maryland. Team slowly improving and definite room to move up.
9 (9) Nebraska: There have been so many close losses. This team might not make a bowl and the year is a major disappointment, but I'm not quite as hard on the coaching staff as most.
10. (10) Minnesota: This is the team I have the hardest time with. I was very tempted to put them down further. I might do it next week even if they meet expectations for me this week.
11. (13) Maryland: Biggest jump for me. Maybe not great against Penn State, but kept it very close. It shows coaching staff might make this work through end of the year.
12 (11) Rutgers: Still have the comeback win vs. Indiana to point to. They didn't match-up well with the Buckeyes who were also just hitting their stride (hopefully).
13 (12). Indiana: I think I would probably take Indiana in a rematch vs. Rutgers, but it doesn't matter. Rutgers beat them and until Indiana beats someone else in conference, can't move them above. They have played better than this rank though.
14 (14). Purdue. Coaching change at end of the year I think.
