I'm glad we are not the Jenner from the Pepsi ad, but I had to google it because other than Kim, I don't know who the fuck any of them are.

this will be haunting my dreams if Minnesota wins

No worries there. We barely beat Illinois. Plus the B1G has used up its allotment of crazy for today this afternoon.

My B1G Power Rankings after Week 10 (not based on record but who looks the best right now)

1.Wisconsin - #winning and had a blowout win today despite the injuries and again a slow start. Beat Indiana 45-17 with ease.

2. Northwestern: Appears to be one of the hotter teams in the nation with quality wins over MSU and Iowa.

3. MSU - Their loss to Notre Dame is a high quality loss and they caught NW on the hot streak. With W's over Michigan and PSU this team is looking like they deserve a top 20 ranking for sure.

4. Michigan- I think the new QB has them back as a legitimate top 15 team right now with that defense and talent on the offensive side of the ball the QB might get them over the hump next season.

5. Iowa - Wow, nobody on the face of the earth expected them to score 55 points and blowout OSU. They've beaten two quality opponents but with a blowout win like that they're back on the map as that was the most impressive and most shocking W this week.

6. PSU- Continue to lose close vs ranked opponents and started to look overrated.

7. OSU - Had the emotional win off the bye week at home to comeback. The most embarrassing loss of the season puts them here for now.

The rest is irrelevant and has no mathematical chance

I think Johnathan Taylor had roughly 100 yards wiped off the stat sheet due to some questionable holding calls. Should've been another easy 200+ yards rushing for the flash.

My B1G Power Rankings after Week 10

1. Wisconsin (9-0, 6-0)- Last Week: 2 - Sometimes, playing cupcakes has its advantages, as long as you win. The Badgers are taking advantage. Wisconsin had a good number of offensive players out, and that did not slow them down. They have been held under 20 once and allowed more than 20 once.

2. Northwestern (6-3, 4-2)- Last Week: 4 - After starting 2-3 with blowout losses to Duke and Penn State, the Wildcats have won 4 straight. Now, they haven't dominated, but they have won 3 straight overtime games now. They lost to WIS by 9 and beaten MSU, Iowa, and Penn State (all top half of this ranking).

3. Michigan State (7-2, 5-1) - Last Week: 5 - The Spartans have the tie breaker vs Penn State and Michigan. Will they get it vs Ohio State next week? Of course, PSU lost the week before to Ohio State and Ohio State got dominated today by Iowa. For the 2nd straight week Lewerke threw for 400+ yards.

4. Iowa (6-3, 3-3) - Last Week: 7 - The Hawkeyes have an offense? Who knew? They went from 11th in the B1G to 4th in PF vs B1G. They are #2 in PA vs B1G, facing #1, #2, #3, #5, #13, and #14 in PF vs B1G. Josey Jewell leads the B1G in tackles. Joshua Jackson leads the nation in pass deflections and 2nd in interceptions. Iowa has played 7 opponents who are bowl eligible and will face another one next week at Wisconsin.

5. Ohio State (7-2, 5-1) - Last Week: 1 - Last two weeks, Ohio State has given up 93 points. They allowed 108 in their first 7 games combined, and 55 of those happened against the 11th scoring team in the B1G. Though they squeeked out the win. JT Barrett's game was nearly as bad as his gave vs 31-0 L to Clemson. Now, they can nearly clinch the B1G East with a win over Michigan State next week.

6. Penn State (7-2, 4-2)
- Last Week: 3 - Two weeks ago, Penn State looked like a lock to win the B1G title. Now, they have no shot at winning their division. They needed a last second touchdown to defeat Iowa and they lost to Ohio State and Michigan State the last two weeks. They are one of two teams to score more than 200 points vs B1G.

7. Michigan (7-2, 4-2)- Last Week: 6 - I know, I dropped Michigan a spot after a 33-7 win, but they beat Minnesota. They have yet to beat a team with a winning record. They are 2-2 in their last four games. Their B1G wins are against teams that are 6-18 vs B1G opponents.

8. Nebraska (4-5, 3-3) - Last Week: 8 - The Huskers have lost 3 games in their last 4. However, those 3 losses came vs #1, #2, and #5. They also had 1-point win vs Purdue. They are the highest losing record team on this ranking.

9. Rutgers (4-5, 3-3) - Last Week: 10 - Rutgers have won 3 of their last 4 games. Of course, those three teams are below them on this list, but still.

10. Maryland (4-5, 2-4) - Last Week: 9 - The Terps has lost 4 of their last 5 games. Their win was a 3 point win vs Indiana. With Michigan, MSU and Penn State left on their schedule, a bowl game does not look promising.

11. Purdue (4-5, 2-4)- Last Week: 11 - What is interesting about Purdue is they have actually scored more than they have allowed vs B1G opponents. They are the only B1G that can say that, Northwestern is a winning record team with only 5 more points scored than allowed.

12. Minnesota (4-5, 1-5) - Last Week: 12 - BTN has talked a lot about this team leading up to the season and even in September. They were the #1 defense in the B1G. They have now lost 5 of their last 6 games with their sole victory against Illinois.

13. Indiana (3-6, 0-6) - Last Week: 13 - The Hoosiers have given up more points vs B1G opponents than any B1G team. Maryland is the only other team to allow more than 200 vs B1G opponents. Only one team will be winless vs B1G next week when Indiana faces Illinois.

14. Illinois (2-7, 0-6) - Last Week: 14 - Illinois is on a 9-game B1G game losing streak. They are the only B1G team to score 200 points and 150 vs B1G.

Ohio State should not be top 5 after getting destroyed.

Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things but Rutgers has been a shocker and I'd place them above Nebraska.
