its a shame they dont let you gamble on every game based soley on who you think is going to win and lose, because if they didnt i would, like, still not have any money because i dont gamble. but what if i did? what if you combined both hypothetical situations?
i bet you never thought of it like that, did you?
i just blew your mind.
Big Ten Power Rankings
October 11th, 2009
1. Ohio State - what is left say about the silver bullet defense? they keep getting better and better every game, and the performance against wisky was nothing short of magical. take away the fake field goal touchdown that special team gave up, and they limited the badgers to six whole points while taking two pick-six's to the house. the game in a few weeks vs iowa looks, for now, to be the defacto big ten championship game. woot! woot!
2. Iowa - the hawkeyes are 5-0 for the first time since 1984, and you cant help but get a sense out of iowa city that something special is happening this season. the schedule doesnt get any easier in the next five weeks, where they must travel to wisconsin, michigan state, and ohio state. that being said, we already know a lot about this hawkeye squad - they are good, and they find ways to win.
3. Penn State - the nittany lions took a break from their embarassing out of conference schedule this week to take on the mighty bombjacks (tecmo super bowl humor) from eastern illinois. and, shocker, they won 52-3. which means nothing to me.
4. Wisconsin - wisky fans find themselves traveling back to the land of cheese this morning wondering how they can outgain a team 368-184, win the battle of possesion 42:47 to 17:13, give up one offensive touchdown, and still find a way to lose. well bucky badger, ohio state was better on defense and special teams, and thats two out of three. and two out of three aint bad.
5. Michigan State - dont let the 10 point win on the scoreboard fool you - sparty dominated the illini. but at what cost? the injury bug jumped up and bit the spartans on the ass, and the green and white fans now wait with faded breath to learn how long their boys will be out. how dramtic was that write-up? nice.
6. Michigan - one week calista forcier is the toast of college football, the next he is being pulled by dickrod in favor of someone who can actually move the ball. expect denard (actual name - take that, spell check) comes in and throws a pick in the final minute of the game - and poof! - michigan is exposed for a second straight week for being the paper tiger that it is. congrats on those wins over eastern michigan, western michigan, and the squeaker over indiana - quite a resume you are building yourself.
7. Minnesota - .......and this is where the rankings become meaningless. the bottom five teams in the conference have been very unimpressive thus far, and i dont really have much to say about any of them. especially minnesota. we will see what they are made of in the second half of the season where they will play PSU, OSU, MSU, and iowa. my guess is that they arent made of much, if anything at all.
8. Northwestern - you know when you are hanging your hat on a win against purdue, you are likely a no-talent-butt-kisser. NERDS!
9. Purdue - sitting at 1-5, the boilers are coming off of their first actual blow-out failure of the season. before the 15 point loss to the gophers, purdues had lost their games by 2, 6, 3, and 6. and now i can officially end my penchant for picking them to beat anyone. so thats nice.
10. Indiana - you have to be some kind of awful to go to virginia and lose by 40. and indiana most certainly falls under that category. in everything except mens soccer.
11. Illinois - its a sad day for a prognosticator when your darkhorse team for the league title is sitting in the basement of your own power rankings after six games. illinois keeps finding ways to lose, and ron zook may be looking for a new job if this craptacular nonsense keeps up. which it will.
you wont be sorry.
