B1G "Look" Rankings Week 5

[Otis]

Which B1G teams have the "Look" to be a powerful Power 5 team. First ranking is by record.

1. Ohio State - They are looking unbeatable so far.
2. Penn State - That game against Pitt is a distant memory after the beatdown @ Maryland. (Didn't Maryland beat a ranked team?)
3. Wisconsin - Badgers look to have a very good defense.
4. Iowa - Hawkeyes handling hasbeens.
5. MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS - Just win Baby! Nothing else matters.
6. Michigan State - Annual letdown game may be behind them?
7. Michigan - Is Harbaugh's seat getting hot?
8. Indiana - 3-2 but no wins in conference.
9. Nebraska - Weren't these guys supposed to be "special"?
10. Maryland - Remember the way they handled Syracuse? Neither do I!
11. Illinois - How long can Lovie survive?
12. Northwestern - Played tough against the Badgers. Watch them handle the Huskers next.
13. Purdue - Brohm's darlings in the pre-season following the Frost train downhill.
14. Rutgers - Hey, they are a member of the AAU.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

I’d swap Maryland and Illinois for Northwestern and Purdue. Northwestern has a really good defense. Their offense...well it sucks. And they’re down to their third string QB that makes Croft look like a superstar.

Purdue beat up but mounted a decent comeback bid.

I just don’t get the Illini hype and Maryland looks as inconsistent as ever and were absolutely destroyed.
