My B1G Power Rankings after week 6

[iowajerms]

1) Michigan State (4-1, 1-0) - For most of the game, they dominated Nebraska and won
2) Ohio State (4-1, 1-0) - Have outscored their opponents 168-52 in last 3 games. Last 2 vs Cincy and Maryland
3) Nebraska (5-1, 1-1) - Lost their 1st game. Almost rallied at the end, but being dominated 3 quarters allows Ohio State to pass
4) Minnesota (4-1, 1-0) - Bye week does not hurt them this week.
5) Wisconsin (3-2, 0-1) - L to NW hurts. But has dominated prior
6) Iowa (4-1, 1-0) - No dominant wins, but they were dominated in their L either. Bye week helps them
7) Maryland (4-2, 1-1) - Being dominated by tOSU hurts, but has a few dominating victories
8) Penn State (4-1, 0-1) - Only big Ws were against teams with combined 3-8 record. Dominated by NW but still 4-1
9) Rutgers (5-1, 1-1) - Only L is to PSU. Close wins (other than Tulane) but they do have 5 wins
10) Northwestern (3-2, 2-0) - Horrible start to season, but dominated PSU and beat Wisconsin last 2 games
11) Indiana (3-2, 0-1) - Dominated North Texas. Beat Mizzou 2 weeks ago. L to BGSU and Maryland
12) Purdue (3-3, 1-1) - Beat Illinois by 11. Won 2 of their last 3 games
13) Illinois (3-3, 0-2) - L by double digits 3 of last 4 games. Won 3 games.
14) Michigan (2-4, 0-2) - Even though they kept it close vs Rutgers, they dropped 4 of last 5 games (3 game L streak, W vs Miami (OH)

Wow... Meatchicken below Illinois. That's just fucking awful.

All time rock bottom

Good job on posting your opinions and taking any criticisms with a grain of salt.



You gotta give Northwestern more credit. I like them in the #3 slot. Northwestern is 2-0 in the B1G. No other team is 2-0 in the B1G.

Beat two of the top half of the better teams, one was on the road. They have to be ahead of Wisconsin, they just beat Wisconsin!!

For you, I hope Iowa wins against Indiana, but since you have HawkeyesRuleyourface, I hope Iowa loses against Indiana.

It's going to come down to Ohio State and Michigan State. Nobody in the west has a shot. Northwestern is 2-0 for christ sakes and couldn't even beat Cal or Northern Illinois OOC.

NW has had 2 great games, but did horrible in OOC. I cannot put them above Wisconsin yet when Wisconsin has done good the rest of the season.

I would have osu at 2 also. I think the Corn should be back at 4-5.

 

[wingsauce7]

It wasn't as if the real Cornhuskers showed up in the end, but that MSU took a few series off, then it was panic mode. This is what allowed the Corn back in. In the end, the FAR better team got lucky and won.

 

[wingsauce7]

Bottom line for MSU? Learn to finish games.

#4-5 were tough enough. I hate doing ties on these things, so I don't. That would be a tie though.

If the Huskers didn't have the rally at the end, then I might agree. But most of the fans that showed up missed quite a finish.

True, but Nebraska did take advantage of it. I don't think most B1G teams would have. Either they aren't good enough or they would have given up.
