Why does Denard’s helmet so big compared to the other players? It reminds me of Darth Helmet in Space Balls. Whats up with the untied shoe laces, & frequently loosing his shoes. Kind of quirky. A rocket of a runner.

Wisconsin has to play both Penn State & Ohio State. It should show how good a team they really are. They should have won both games against Nebraska & Oregon State. Hopefully they’ll meet either Nebraska or Michigan for the B1G Championship. They’re a young team on the rise.

I want to keep being a Purdue fan, I really do. But every year they are a massive disappointment. Well at least Michigan State is keeping my spirits….. oh wait they stink too. Actually except our bowl ineligible schools they almost all are mediocre at best, what is happening to this conference?? Is it basketball season yet?

You have Penn State ranked too high. Will they go into a free fall when Iowa beats them on Saturday?

I do like Nebraska, but to say that I am a fan is a stretch. If I were to rank all twelve Big Ten schools in order of preference, Nebraska would come in fourth. Now let me explain why the Cornhuskers are ranked third, one spot lower than they were ranked last week. Nebraska has one of the two most explosive offensive attacks in the conference. Ohio State has the other one. Nebraska’s major flaw is that its defense is extremely inconsistent. I have watched Nebraska play Southern Mississippi, Wisconsin, and Ohio State. I have seen that defense at its best during the second half of the game against Wisconsin when they absolutely shut down whatever offense the Badgers brought to Lincoln. I have also seen it at its worst against Ohio State and the offensive attack that is among the best in the conference. Does Nebraska’s defense need to become more consistent? Yes, without a doubt. Right now, that defense is merely average. However, most of the defenses in the Big Ten are average. There is no elite defense in the conference now that Michigan State has struggled with Indiana and Iowa in consecutive weeks. The game of college football is steadily evolving from one controlled by defense to one controlled by offense. Nebraska has the offense to score and compete with any team in the conference and with most teams in the country. Now I will say that the gap between #3 and #4 is rapidly shrinking. With Michigan’s win over Illinois and Nebraska’s bye, a Michigan win vs. Michigan State and a Nebraska loss at Northwestern would drop the Cornhuskers behind the Wolverines. However, the future has not yet happened, and therefore it has no place in these rankings.

Aroz… it’s obvious you are a Nebraska fan. They have no business being anywhere near top 5 but then you have them at 3? And if your argument for putting them so high is, “they beat Wisconsin.” Well, you have Wisky only ranked 6… Wow, shows how much you know about football.

I’m a Buckeye fan. I just gotta say Indiana put up a strong fight last night. I’m sure Indiana will win a few conference games this season.
