I must say I am surprised but don't disagree. Pleasant surprise.

Wiscy down to #9. Yowza! As much as that pleases me, that drop is too much. No way are Rutgers and PSU better than Becky.

I am pretty much in agreement with that based on what we've seen this season.

I wouldn't necessarily agree that that is how it will look at the end of the year. But that's not the point of a power ranking.

I still think the skunks win 5 or 6 games in the B1G, with Nebraska being the swing game.

This will mean diddily squat if we don't take care of NW next week.

I also can see us jumping Nebraska in these power rankings with their bye week next week if we beat Northwestern.

One play, one series, one drive, one quarter, one Half, one quarter, one half, one game. One game at a time.

+1000. Hopefully that is the mentality the coaching staff is able to get into every player's head this week and through Saturday. One week at a time folks. Steady as she goes.

Let's not get mental here. This is a decent team, but there's little margin for error. It would be nice if the players could be kept in the dark about these power rankings. It's almost as though they're meant to sabotage the team's psyche. Stay hungry!
