1 PSU (No one else deserves it)
2 Ohio State (speed kills)
3 Michigan (the Big 3 rise to the top again. Michigan's D is finding itself again while Henne struggles.)
4 Whisky (Has a great shot at winning the Big 10 from #4 w/ weak schedule)
5 Michigan State (better than the rest)
6 Northwestern (Prolific offense stalls and weak D is exposed by a crappy Michigan O)
7 Iowa (D is average, but so is their O. They should probably be higher, but still haven't impressed me.)
8 Minnesota (one of most prolific Os in the history of college football over the past three years will still only buy you an 8 ranking with our horseshit D.
9 Purdue (sucks just as bad as Indy, but D might be better...maybe.)
10 Indiana (They've been here almost all season and will stay for the rest of it. Powers will test the Gophers D)
11 ILLinois (still at #11, but their recruiting will pay off sooner than you might think in the near future.)
