East:
1. Ohio State (1-0, @ Penn St.) - Manhandled Nebraska. Started off slow but got rolling. Fields threw 1 incompletion.
2. Michigan (1-0, Michigan St.) - I don't think Minnesota was as good as they were made out to be, but going into TCF and beating the Gophers by the margin they did is not anything to bat an eye at.
3. Indiana (1-0, @ Rutgers) - Possibly a program defining win under Allen, walking off Penn St. on a controversial call in OT.
4. Penn State (0-1, Ohio St.) - Lost on a previously mentioned controversial call. Running backs struggled, which stemmed from their issues up front.
5. Rutgers (1-0, Indiana)- How many of you had Rutgers beating Michigan State? Not many!
6. Michigan State (0-1, Indiana) - Very lucky that Maryland is in the East. They look horrendous, Seven turnovers isn't going to play, and Rutgers put up 38 on their defense.
7. Maryland (0-1, Minnesota) - Absolutely floored by Northwestern, who isn't known for their offense. Gave up 300+ rush yards, and only had 64 of their own. Not a recipe for success. They may go winless.
West:
1. Wisconsin (1-0, @ Nebraska) - Saw them kickoff the B1G season with a bang again a poor Illinois team, but they have the best QB their program has seen in a while.
2. Purdue (1-0, @ Illinois) - Knocked off our Hawkeyes without their best playmaker, starting running back, or head coach and playcaller. Potentially a top 3 offense in the entire B1G, pending Moore's return to the squad.
3. Northwestern (1-0, @ Iowa) - Absolutely destroyed a poor Maryland team, but it is something to take note of. Former Indiana QB Peyton Ramsey provides a threat both in the air and on the ground.
4. Iowa (0-1, Northwestern) - Lost a very winnable game against Purdue due to turnovers and penalties, something they have excelled at in the past. Petras had his flashes but struggled with accuracy in an offense with countless playmakers.
5. Minnesota (0-1, @ Maryland) - Destroyed by Michigan, and their defense and special teams looked horrendous under Fleck.
6. Nebraska (0-1, Wisconsin) - Got the worst draw in the opening week heading to the shoe, but the defense is a mess, and dirty. Multiple targeting ejections, and could've had more. The WR talent is lackluster.
7. Illinois (0-1, Purdue) - Showed flashes in the first half against the Badgers, but ended up getting blown out. QB play was abysmal, completing only 8 passes for under 100 yards.
