1. Iowa 2-0 (0-0)
The Hawks, with what could be the best defense in the Big 10, give up NOTHING in a trouncing of Syracuse, continuing their march to a Big Ten title.

2. Penn State 2-0 (0-0)
Penn State looked good in State College, dealing with a bad Notre Dame team.

3. Wisconsin 2-0 (0-0)
Struggled a bit with UNLV on Saturday. Don’t look too much into it. Bucky’s tough.

4. Ohio State 2-0 (0-0)
Todd Boeckman gave more questions to the Buckeye faithful than answers last week.

5. Purdue 2-0 (0-0)
I refuse to drink the Boilermaker and Curtis Painter kool-aid. Eastern Illinois? Are you fucking serious?

6. Michigan St. 2-0 (0-0)
The Spartans play well enough to get by. But just beckons the question: How long until the breakdown?

7. Indiana 2-0 (0-0)
Indiana rolls over future Iowa opponent Western Michigan. The key to their season will be the health of the best receiver in the Big Ten (besides Trey Stross, obviously), James Hardy.

8. Illinois 1-1 (0-0)
Zooker rebounds against… Western Illinois? Whaaaat?

9. Northwestern 2-0 (0-0)
Struggled with a bad Nevada team. Any team that runs the pistol offense is bad, in my book.

10. Minnesota 1-1 (0-0)
Whew! What a 3 OT(!) test against Miami… of OHIO. Fuck, I can’t wait for November 10th.

11. Michigan 0-2 (0-0)
Just when you think things can’t get any worse for Ann Arbor, a flock of Ducks take a shit (and improve the aesthetic appeal of The Big House) on Michigan Stadium. This team is in total disarray. Hart argued with linemen after they missed blocks and refused to come out when he was clearly hurt. But hold the phone. Mike Hart guarantees a victory over the Irish next Saturday. Bite your tongue, Mike. Oh, did I mention that Chad Henne will not dress for Saturday’s game?
