Week 11 Power Rankings:

While there's still a few spots where teams are pretty close, this is one of the least bunched-up weeks I've seen in a while. For the most part, we agree with where these teams are ranked. Especially at the top and bottom, where all but four voters ranked Oregon #1 and ALL voters ranked Purdue #18.

Weekly Average Rankings

Points are the summation of every voter's ranking for that team, therefore lower scores are better. This works because unlike the AP, Coaches, or /r/cfb polls, every team is ranked in every vote. If x votes were counted, the best possible score is x and the worst possible score is 14x. #1 votes are in parentheses.

Average Rank is the points divided by the number of votes. This will allow for comparison from one week to the next.

Prev. is the Rank from the previous week.

Change is the change in average rank from the previous week.

Variance is a measure of how much agreement there was between voters. A zero means all voters ranked a team the same, and a higher number means a team's ranking was more controversial.

Ohio State 41 Northwestern 6

Illinois 23 Michigan St 20

Penn State 38 Purdue 7

USC 27 Nebraska 21

Maryland 24 Rutgers 14

Oregon 44 Wisconsin 20

Yes, I think Oregon beats OSU 3 times, 20-17 F/O.T. In the CCG, a blowout in the playoffs, Day chokes too much, and they basically beat Oregon last time, but Howard slid a second late, literally

I have Bama over Texas in the SEC championship, UGA beats Tennessee next week, setting the stage for that

Miami loses again at some point, probably to SMU in the CCG

PSU is above Indy because Indy will lose to Ohio, and that will drop them because the committee is stupid, for those that may wonder why I have it like this

Beck chokes against Ohio

Texas destroys Norte Dame

Oregons pass rush is too much for Texas, I think 37-20

Milroe forced to throw, chokes, and Deboer is out coached by Kiff

Boise could beat Penn, but I doubt it

BYU is not that good in my opinion

SMU is destroyed by OSU

Allard won’t be able to put up enough points on Ole Miss, 31-17

Indiana is good, but I just don’t think they’ll beat ole miss

And Oregon beats miss 30-27 on a last minute field goal

He’s only 13-10 in two years so far at Wisconsin

At this point in the season, the B1G has one team that has been officially eliminated from postseason play, Purdue.

Every other Team in the conference has a game to give, and can give them for the good of the cause. What cause? a 17-team clusterfuck of "who gets sent to the better bowls" madness.

#UPSETS:

The following games are the true upsets that would need to happen in order to facilitate this:

Week 12: Northwestern over Ohio State

Week 13: Purdue over Michigan State

Week 14: USC over Notre Dame

#Final Standings:

1-3: Oregon, Penn State, Indiana (beat everyone they are ahead of in conference, only game in question is Indiana/OSU)

4: Ohio State 10-2/9-3

5: Winner of Nebraska/Iowa 7-5

6-13: loser of Nebraska/Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Northwestern, Michigan, Michigan State, Washington, UCLA. 6-6, 4-5 in conference

14-17: USC, Maryland, Rutgers, Illinois. 6-6, 3-6 in conference

#Required finishes:

Nebraska: USC (L), Wisconsin (W), Iowa (W or L) to finish 7-5/6-6

Iowa: Maryland (L), Nebraska (W or L) to finish 7-5/6-6

Wisconsin: Oregon (L), Nebraska (L), Minnesota (W) - 6-6

Minnesota: Penn State (L), Wisconsin (L) - 6-6

Northwestern: Ohio State (W), Michigan (L), Illinois (W) - 6-6

Michigan: Northwestern (W), Ohio State (L) - 6-6

Michigan State: Illinois (W), Purdue (L), Rutgers (W) - 6-6

Washington: UCLA (W), Oregon (L) - 6-6

UCLA: Washington (L), USC (W), Fresno State (W) - 6-6

USC: Nebraska (W), UCLA (L), Notre Dame (W) - 6-6

Maryland: Rutgers (W), Iowa (W), Penn State (L) - 6-6

Rutgers: Maryland (L), Illinois (W), Michigan State (L) - 6-6

Illinois: Michigan State (L), Rutgers (L), Northwestern (L) - 6-6

Try to wade through this pile of bullshit, bowl selection committees.

Sorry for the late post, but voting is now open!

If you blurb, send them in now!

We have a chance going into next week to have teams Ranked 1 - 4, and at worst 4 of the top 6. I can't remember ever seeing a conference so top heavy.

No other teams are ranked. Iowa and Minnesota were receiving votes just outside the top 25 and then both of them lost. Illinois had a couple of votes and didn't lose during their bye week.

I have a tough time calling Illinois our 5th best team, but also can't really make an argument against it. The only team that definitely isn't number 5 is Purdue.

I just bought a subscription to watch basketball tonight, and it keeps telling me that I need to subscribe.

Week 10 Power Rankings:

Boy oh boy, what a week of football. Only three teams stayed in the same spots as last week, and two of those teams are #1 and #18. Indiana only stayed at 3 due to Ohio State's big win propelling them just ahead of Indiana in the eyes of the voters.

As for the rest of the conference, my goodness. Everyone is jumping around everyone, nobody knows where anyone should be ranked, and also Purdue is here.
