Did we overreact to Iowa’s loss? Probably. But we distributed North Dakota State’s votes amongst the rest of the B1G West.
Ohio State maintained their stranglehold on the #1 spot. Illinois continues its free-fall down the rankings while Northwestern climbed out of the cellar. Up until now, it has all been speculation and perceptions about the strength of non-conference opponents. This week, the gloves come off and we get some head-to-head matchups that should begin to clear everything up.
Or confuse the picture. The B1G is good for that.
Keith: Michigan State makes a big move up this week as they prove they can play with the big boys.
