Dispatch college football writer Todd Jones provides a weekly assessment of the Big Ten hierarchy.
1. Ohio State – Three games remain in the regular season, and we’re still waiting for the Buckeyes to consistently match their reputation. They keep winning, but those victories -- yawn -- are against a schedule rated No. 68 in the Sagarin Ratings.
2. Iowa – The fly-over Hawkeyes are getting little love from the national media, but they’re 9-0 for only the second time in school history. A win over Pittsburgh and road wins over Northwestern and Wisconsin are better than any three OSU victories.
