1. Ohio State or Michigan State? After three weeks, they look like the only Top programs in the conference.
3. Does Wisconsin, Northwestern or Iowa really look Top 25? Stanford showed no offense in the 9 am opener in Evanston.
• Wisconson - defending champion
• Northwestern - they have favorable schedule
• Iowa - without Drew Ott, Iowa's defense was limited vs. Pitt
Pitt nearly lost at home to Bo Pelini and Youngstown State. They nearly rallied at Iowa.
Iowa is improved. But, game at Wisconsin is biggest game ahead of seven B1G games.
6. Michigan
Minnesota over Nebraska at #7 and #8 most likely.
9. Illinois
10. Penn State
11. Maryland
12. Purdue
13. or 14. Indiana or Rutgers?
The Big Ten looks like the Big 2 and Week 3 is always tough one as Iowa found out last year and nearly found out again this year, before the stars alligned on last drive.
Great win, but Iowa needs to prepare for a challenging B1G run in 2015.
Iowa's running game needs more than two RBs and relying on C.J. Beathard to bail Iowa out. Physical nature of the game is going to be taxing.
Iowa's pass rush needs to return. Not sold on Pitt's QB options.
3-0 feels good, but Iowa isn't there yet. @ Wisconsin will be our first real test of 2015.
peace
