It is pretty clear Purdue and northwestern are better than I thought


Oregon and Michigan state are worse than I thought

Everyone else is about what I thought
Who has Purdue beaten to put them in the "pretty clear" better than you thought? I thought they were bad, but not bad enough that Beating ball state or southern illinois moved the needle.

I don't know if they've beaten anyone good.

But:

Purdue's offense is legit IMO... when they don't make turnovers.

Their defense played well against us (although the game plan defensively vs the gophers is kinda obvious).

I thought they’d lose to ball state

I didn’t say they were good. I said they were better than I thought. I had them at 1-11. They have legit shot in the next two. Could end up anywhere from 2-10 to 4-8. Which is better than I thought


Likewise I had Oregon overrated. I thought Oregon was head and shoulders above everyone except Ohio state.
They lost to Indiana and needed overtime for 0-3 penn state.
Going into the year I thought they’d definitely end up 10+ wins.
Now I would say they probably do but not definitely
 




I think it might be time to move Northwestern to the story of the season category. It does not look like a sure win anymore, in facted they might be favorites.

We will learn a lot about them in the next few weeks.

they beat two lame duck coaches and a backup QB

They’re better than I thought at beginning of the season though.
If I was remaking categories I’d probably switch them and Michigan state but I am not going to remake the categories
 

Minnesota can win 4 if they play solid defense and have a little luck.

Teams that were bad and suddenly DGAF ... they scare me. When it doesn't matter anymore, some folks get really focused.
