5. Michigan (Last week 5)
As good as Michigan has looked over the last three weeks, it hasn’t been done against the top teams in the league. That changes when Ohio State comes a callin’ in two weeks, but first the sneaky hard one against Indiana on the road. Khakis never looked so ironed and pressed.
4. Wisconsin (Last week 4)

The Badgers defense got exposed a wee bit against Illinois and Ohio State and since then it hasn’t been nearly as dominant. For now, the Badgers are what they are, but this team might just find it’s way still to the Rose Bowl. I mean the West is now in Wisconsin’s control.
3. Penn State (Last week 3)
Penn State is still hanging, hanging around. The defense has been suspect the last couple of weeks, and now it has to figure it all out as it prepares to make the Lord of the Rings journey to Columbus. James Franklin would like to know if the program will finally be elite?
2. Minnesota (Last week 2)
Yeah the row boat finally took on some water Saturday, but this team still controls almost everything it wants. Win the last two and there’s still a very outside shot at some really big things. We can’t put Penn State ahead at this point because of the head-to-head win.
1. Ohio State (Last week 1)
Ohio State is still the class of the league at now 10-0. Heck, it might be the class of the country. Things get real with Penn State coming to town, but we have a haunch the Nittany Lions are a bit overrated. Come to think of it WE ARE sure they are. Let’s get it on for Saturday.
