NW is abysmal this year.

 

[BucksFanInGA]

If Illinois is our 6th best team... We really DO suck...

 

[ericd7633]

Illinois at 6 makes no sense what so ever. Blown out by UW and haven't looked impressive in any of their wins over terrible FBS teams.

Not me. I've been defending Ferentz this whole time. I have Iowa so low because they haven't dominated any games they play. I'm not worried though. If they keep winning and other teams lose, I will put Iowa higher on the list. They haven't been the definition of POWER this 1st month.

[Brasky]

This is a tough list to make when you get past the obvious top 5 at this point.

For sure. I think after the top 5 in any given conference or top 10 overall becomes an exercise in futility. They're all gonna thump on each other for the most part.

Sometimes if a team is exceptionally bad you're safe calling them the worst. But the middle tier stuff is a muddled mess all season long.

 

[NDHoosier101]

In the power rankings you have Illinois' miracle comeback over Texas St being stronger than Rutgers beating Navy, IU beating Mizzuo, Iowa over Pitt and Maryland crushing Cuse? You're better than this.

Agreed.

Indiana has one of the better OOC wins (on paper) of anyone.

I'd put them at 6 or 7 at the very least. The loss to Bowling Green hurts.

Especially after Wisky showed them to be on par with most high school teams. I'll just say we overlooked them...

 

[HawkeyesRuleURFace]

I don't think Iowa sucks but I know their coaching staff sucks. I read somewhere that KF was hiding his "raider" package until conference play but was forced to use it Saturday in order to stop Connor from getting 300 on us. KF is just a fucking moron as our D in the second half was sick. That just means he's rather lose to ISU and attempt to succeed in conference. He still doesn't get that losing to ISU is what will eventually get his dumbass fired. I get sick even typing his name anymore

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

Scratch that.

7. Indiana (3-1)

My personal "darkhorse" here.


GO HOOSIERS!

Id go

1. Michigan State
2. Nebraska
3. Wisconsin
4. Penn State
5. Ohio State
6. Maryland
7. Iowa
8. Indiana
9. Rutgers
10. Illinois
11. Minnesota
12. Michigan
13. Purdue
14. NW

9. Rutgers
10. Illinois
11. Minnesota
12. Michigan
13. Purdue
14. NW

I'd switch Indiana and Iowa. Indiana while they did lose to BGSU, have by far the best win for the B1G and BGSU is probably on par with ISU if not better.

I agree Indiana's win over Mizzou is B1G's best win, but I disagree about ISU being worse than BGSU. ISU got pounded by NDSU, who I think could win any midmajor conference and go bowling in any power 5 conference. They were a few minutes from beating KState, who put up a great game vs Auburn.

Id yhave no issue with that. I only put Iowa at 7 because I think they have the better loss and Im not truly sure that Mizzou is better than Pitt but switching those 2 is OK by me.
