B1G has 4 of the top 5 spots and is easily the strongest league this year.

Obligatory 1. Kentucky
2. Ohio State
3. Indiana
4. Michigan State
5. Wisconsin
12. Michigan
26. Minnesota
37. Purdue
53. Iowa
54. Illinois
67. Penn State
90. Northwestern
216. Nebraska

Very surprised by the top 5, don't think Wisconsin will finish in the top 15 and find it strange Michigan is ranked so low considering all the hype they are getting. Don't think a B1G team will ultimately finish outside the top 100, potentially the top 80 or so depending if Nebraska can get its act together and Penn State doesn't have a poorer season than usual. Thoughts?

Michigan State and Wisconsin are to high, if MSU had Dawson that might be close but without him they are second 10, Wisconsin without Gasser is probably in the 16-25 range, very similiar to the Gophers. I also think Iowa is a little low.
 

Nebraska is bad. They are not a top-100 team.

I'm pretty sure MSU has said Dawson will be good to go for the season opener. Not 100% probably, but ready to play nonetheless. His recovery (ala Adrian Peterson) has been much quicker than anticipated.

I've heard criticism but apparently the system's methodology works much better closer to the middle of the season. Never the less its an strong indicator and important ranking system.
 

Minnesota should be ranked ahead of the Badgers with Mbakwe back. I'm sure that's the way it will end up next March anyway.
