  • OHIO STATE (1) - defense continues to roll
  • INDIANA (2) - looked sleepy for a half
  • OREGON (3) - best the offense has looked in a bit

  • ILLINOIS (6) - defense finally rounding into form
  • MICHIGAN (5) - survive and advance
  • WASHINGTON (9) - nice bounce back
  • IOWA (7) - when you are every teams best win, are you still a good win?
  • NEBRASKA (8) - bye week
  • NORTHWESTERN (10) - thought they had a bowl bid locked up
  • PENN STATE (12) - bowl hopes remain
  • MINNESOTA (11) - Auburn really wants PJ?
  • RUTGERS (13) - bye week
  • UCLA (14) - no shame in getting blasted in Columbus
  • MARYLAND (15) - yay, Locksley is returning

There seems to be a clump of teams in the Big Ten ranked from 4 to 8 that can all beat each other when they are at home.

USC has 2 good wins at home over Mich and Iowa,  but lost on the road to Illinois

Michigan has lost @USC and beat Wash at home.

Illinois has beat USC at home and lost to Wash on the road.

Washington has lost to Mich on the road and beat Illinois at home

Iowa has lost to USC on the road.

It makes sense to me because I think most everyone understands that Penn State is much better than their record. Even in their five game losing streak only the Ohio State game was not within one score. I think they get a pass on that because it was on the road against #1. In the other five losses Penn State trailed by a grand combined total of 10 points at the end of regulation.
