Buddy and me always exchange our B1G rankings every week and mine are very similar to yours:
Clear top-tier
1. Ohio State
2. Penn State
3. Oregon
4. Illinois

Good teams that won but I still question some facets of their squad.
5. Michigan
6. Indiana
7. USC
8. Iowa
9. Minnesota
10. Nebraska

Teams that won but I still have BIG questions about.
11. Washington
12. Rutgers
13. Wisconsin
14. Michigan State
15. Maryland

Booty cheeks
16. Purdue
17. UCLA
18. Northwestern

Agree with all of this except Illinois is tier 2

They’ll finish in first place in tier 2 possibly due to the easy schedule…but they’re closer to being Minnesota than Ohio state and Oregon

Sure, but the Ohio State weekly ranker also had the Gophers at #9. The Ohio State rankers usually seem to be more generous to the Gophers than writers from the rest of the league.

I feel like Gophers at 9 is pretty fair at this point. If Iowa loses to Iowa St they should move up a spot.
