Big Ten Power Poll - Post Week 7
This is what the season has been building to. After 6 polls of disagreement, we have two teams that were unanimously placed in their slots. Both Iowa and Illinois received every vote cast for their positions. Kudos to the Hawkeyes. Shame on the Illini. Speaking of building, it seems an appropriate moment to step back from the crass commercialism that I've pushed in the past weeks and remember that this blog is founded upon the law schools of these institutions. Therefore, this week we showcase the buildings that house the brains. Your 10 Big Ten law school buildings. Obviously, we had to do something different with Purdue. Also, I can not explain why so many of the buildings look like rejected designs for spaceships in Star Wars. It's an image this week. Click to enlarge.

The Rivalry, Esq has reached out to the SBNation Big Ten bloggers to create this poll. Its purpose: find a consensus as to the power of the Big Ten teams. We invited each SBNation Big Ten blog to participate. We will vote each week. Invitations remain extended to the writers of Black Shoe Diaries and the Crimson Quarry to participate.

I agree 100%
Plus, you gotta love Jim Gaffigan. I honestly did not know he was a Purdue Alum.

That makes it look
like NW Law is taught in the Hancock. No dice.

Ummm...
…you do realize that about 5,000 of NU’s 7,000 undergrads go to each home game, right? A percentage that would put the rest of the Big Ten to shame….
The problem is not with student attendance, it’s with everyone else showing (or not showing) up….

I will believe
that 5,000 NW students bought season tickets.
I will not believe that 5,000 NW students were in attendance when the Cats hosted Miami (OH).

I was out of town
For the Miami (OH) game, but the Minnesota game there were easily that many…

You and
80% of that 5,000 seat student section were out of town.

If you go to a Big 10 school
You are out of town on the away game weekends, not home games.

Tuscaloosa
Bama Hawk, is there any chance that a single bar in Tuscaloosa will have the BTN this Saturday? I need somewhere to watch the game.

Buffalo Wild Wings
would be my best guess. The sports bars on the strip will be focussed on LSU/Auburn and FL/MSU.

You guys are hysterical
Acting like there is “electricity” and “television” in something called Tuscaloosa.

Bama has been pretending there's a University there for a long time too...
At this point it’s best to just let the Southern folk exist in reverie.

I've been in Alabama long enough
to stop making fun of it, but not long enough to defend it.

I Say This As A Buckeye..
…you should have Wisconsin ranked higher. We beat them but did not outplay them, and our loss to Purdue should pretty much knock us down below to anybody who couldn’t beat Northern Illinois.
