Looks good to me. Nebraska might be a bit high, but otherwise it looks good.
October 23rd, 2011 at 1:38 PM ^
I'll take that. For the most part, no arguments with the rankings this week.

Sparty is going to be difficult to deal with this week.
October 23rd, 2011 at 4:23 PM ^
So glad I don't live there for that very reason.

your radio off helps this factor immeasurably. If you haven't noticed, Sparty owns Michigan radio. (It's not just Valenti). Keep the music on this week, at least until about Thursday.

I'm glad I live out here, far away from East Asshole. MSU grads are scarce out here but M grads plentiful. However most of them are into saving the world or some other less than football enterprise.But, give Sparty ( and it galls me to have to capitalize that ) credit. They won without Gholston, and without a single penalty. We, as usual, decide our own fate. We should give them their moment in the sun, they will get it anyways. We should shut up and get on with the rest of the season.

I am thinking about moving out west somewhere, maybe Denver. I just can't deal with these MSU fans anymore.

It's funny how the pollsters still think Wiscy is about as good as MSU (10/11), perhaps highlighting just how flukey that win was and how the consensus was Wiscy probably would have prevailed in OT.
Beyond that, still surprised Ok St. is getting as much love as they are, considering their biggest wins are an epic collapse by A&M and a solid win over an overrated UT team. I don't see KSU or Baylor giving them trouble, so Bedlam may very well seal their fate as to whether they are the sacrificial team to the SEC champion.

They.lost on the road on a last second play to a top ten team. OU was handled at home by #19. Wiscy should be higher
October 23rd, 2011 at 6:59 PM ^
Little correction, OU was handled at home by an Unranked Team. And Wisconsin lost on the road to a Top-20/15 team, not Top-Ten
Well at actual game-time anyway

in the Race to the Bottom w/ a grand total of 33 (Boise, VT, WVU) + non-ranked FSU, Texas, MissSt.
October 23rd, 2011 at 9:26 PM ^
And we're 18th in the BCS. The computers don't like us
October 24th, 2011 at 12:03 AM ^
We don't have any big wins for the computers to like us. We need to play/beat Nebraska and Illinois before we get any love.

PSU pretty much dominated Northwestern. They were able to run the ball effectively chewing up 4-8 yards rather consistently. I thought they were weaker based on the Pudue game, but maybe they just played pooly that game. Anyway - the offense and defense looked pretty good ... and they have already beaten Iowa.
Purdue with their screens and trickery (remember the hook and ladder) ... will be a good test for us. After all so far the 2 teams we've beaten in the B1G are a combined 0 - 7 in conference play.
Go Blue!
