Power Rankings

- Penn State – Northwestern hung around in the first half.
- Ohio State – Interested to see how the Buckeyes come out of the bye week following an emotional win over Notre Dame.
- Wisconsin- Wisconsin’s lone loss came against a solid Washington State squad.
- Maryland – 5 TDs from Tagovailoa is enough to move the Terps up.

- Michigan State – I feel bad for the players.
- Minnesota – Michigan will roll the Gophers.
- Purdue- Won the head-to-head match-up over the Illini. Big whoop.
- Illinois – The Illinois offense somehow averages less points than Iowa

Having a healthier QB under center might actually help the Hawkeyes open up the playbook. O/U on Deacon Hill QB sneaks? I’m going two.
