Here’s my take after week 2.
Penn St. – I
question the competition, but so far there’s no reason to think the Nittany
Lions don’t belong at or near the top.
Michigan –
Could easily be in the #1 spot. QB Wilton Speight’s subpar performance is
what’s holding me back.
Ohio St. - I
thought the Kevin Wilson factor would have a huge impact on the offense. So
far, it appears as though nothing has changed schematically from last season.
I’m not so down on the Buckeyes to move ‘em any further down the ladder just
yet.
Wisconsin –
The Badgers haven’t really played anybody and I wasn’t overly impressed with
what I saw last Saturday.
Iowa – This
is where it gets hard to separate the rest of the pack for ranking purposes. I
like QB Nate Stanley’s progress.
Maryland –
That offense is loaded.
Minnesota –
I didn’t get to see the Gophers last Saturday, but I like the score.
Michigan St.
– My first look at the Spartans was last Saturday. I have to put ‘em in the
middle for now.
Purdue –
Watch out for the Boilermakers. You heard it here first.
Indiana –
Something’s happening here.
Nebraska –
My bold prediction: HC Mike Riley won’t be the HC next season.
Northwestern
– Preseason expectations and returning starters say the Wildcats should be
ranked higher, but I got ‘em way down here for now.
Illinois –
I’m not ready to do so yet, but I’ve got a feeling I’ll be moving this team up
in the coming weeks.
Rutgers –
That was a bad loss last Saturday. One of the few games on the Scarlet Knights’
schedule that looked like a win.
