5. Purdue (2-0) – last week (7)
I’m not sure anyone is watching, but Purdue has actually looked like a real, live college football team so far in 2020. And get this; if the Wisconsin game can’t happen this weekend, the Boilers have a very, very navigatable schedule. There’s almost a lock for a bowl bid.
4. Northwestern (2-0) – last week (6)
Take what we said about Iowa and turn it around into an unexpected year in Evanston. One of those pleasant-surprise-Pat-Fitzgerald-contract-extension kind of seasons.
3. Indiana (2-0) – last week (4)
Ride the high while you can Hoosiers. Next up is Michigan, followed by road games at Michigan State and Ohio State. There’s also a contest at Camp Randall against Wisconsin down the road.
2. Wisconsin (1-0) – last week (2)
The Badgers looked fantastic in week one, now we just have to see how post-pandemic shutdown Wisconsin looks when play resumes. We are supposed to get an update on the game against Purdue on Tuesday.
1. Ohio State (2-0) – last week (1)
Ohio State is very good. Justin Fields is fantastic. The water boy can sling Gatorade in the mouths of fast-twitch type players in Columbus. That is all.
