Big Ten Powah Rankings

BSD is back with the Big Ten Power Rankings after sitting out last week. It's been an interesting couple of weeks to say the least. Who would have guessed at this point in the season that Ohio State would be riding a four game losing streak and Penn State would be on a winning streak?

**The BSD Big Ten Power Rankings of The Big Ten on BSD**
Rank	Team	Previous	Last Week
1	Purdue 23-6 (14-2)	1	W – 65-43 Minnesota W – 68-43 Northwestern	Still the best team in the conference.
2	Wisconsin 24-4 (14-2)	2	W – 57-42 MSU	If not for Purdue, the Badgers would be undefeated in B10 play.
3	Indiana 24-5 (13-3)	3	W - 72-69 OSU L - 74-103 @MSU	Welcome to the Izzone.
4	Michigan State 23-6 (11-5)	4	L – 42-57 @Wisconsin W – 103-74 Indiana	42 points one night. 103 the next. Go figure. Losses to PSU and Iowa hold them back.
5	Minnesota 18-10 (8-8)	6	L – 53-65 @Purdue W – 71-57 Ohio State	Tubby finally kind of got a quality win.
6	Ohio State 17-12 (8-8)	5	L – 69-72 @Indiana L – 57-71 @Minnesota	Four losses in a row for the Buckeyes.
7	Penn State 14-14 (6-10)	8	W – 65-64 Iowa W 69-61 Michigan	Oh if we could go back and redo that Old Spice Classic thing.
8	Illinois 12-17 (4-12)	10	W – 58-47 @Iowa	Maybe Zook can recruit for the basketball team too?
9	Iowa 12-18 (5-12)	8	L – 64-65 @PSU L - 47-58 Illinois	Losers of three in a row.
10	Michigan 9-20 (4-12)	7	L – 60-62 Northwestern L – 61-69 PSU	Two losses to B10 bottom feeders? No rank for you.
11	Northwestern 8-19 (1-15)	11	W – 62-60 @Michigan L – 43-68 @Purdue	Congrats to Michigan, Northwesterns lone upset of the year.

Brian is dead on

I should start a blog in the hope that someday I can win an award and place a picture of J Leman on my mantle.

Anyway, congrats Mike!

Enter someone who's not Morelli!

7th in the conference

Was alot of preseason predictions before the season. Now factor in Purdue coming out nowhere to be a juggernaut and I bet alot of people wouldve been pretty satisfied with 7th. And we've got that 7th w/o having G for some time. I cant complain too much. Ed just better build on this season.

Oh and Congrats Mike
