BIG TEN POWER RANKINGS-POST WEEK 1


All was not lost for the greatest conference in all of the land this weekend even after Michigan's embarassing showing against Alabama. The conference did go 10-2 and I think even the biggest Big Ten supporters were OK seeing Penn State go down.

1. WISCONSIN-Escaped against pesky I-AA Northern Iowa. Up next is a trip out west to Oregon State.

2. MICHIGAN STATE-A late score secured a nice win over Boise State. The defense looks the part.

3. NEBRASKA-Steam-rolled a solid Southern Miss team. Martinez looks improved.

4. OHIO STATE-Blew out Miami (OH) in the debut for Urban Meyer. UCF up next.

5. MICHIGAN-Clearly over-matched by Alabama. Can Robinson stay healthy all season?

6. IOWA-Fortunate to be 1-0, Hawk fans hope to see drastic improvement from week 1 to week 2.

7. PURDUE-A 48-6 opening win pleased the faithful in West Lafayette. Notre Dame this Saturday.

8. NORTHWESTERN-Blew a huge lead only to come back to win at Syracuse. Looks like the same team as 2011 NW.

9. ILLINOIS-An encouraging start vs a decent Western Michigan team. 1st test this week at ASU.

10. MINNESOTA-A triple OT win at UNLV for the Gophers moves them up 1 spot.

11. PENN STATE-Once the emotions wore off, it was apparent how much talent has left the program.

12. INDIANA-Won a tight one in their opener against Indiana State. Not real encouraging.
