Big Ten Power Poll - Post Week 9

Power_poll_logo_medium

The top four teams each received every vote for their slot.  Unanimity is fun!

After that, we have no idea.  Michigan had a vote for fifth and a vote for last.  Illinois was ranked 8th and 11th.  Same with Indiana.  Northwestern lost so well, we decided to move them up.  It's weird outside of the Top 4.  We need more educating at our law schools - and from a Purdue Alum who did some teaching of his own.  If that doesn't help, this week's slate of games should do the trick.

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 understand that

some want the Big Ten to go back to 10 teams, but I’m not sure that Michigan is the team to drop. Maybe after one more season like this, but we’ll have to see.

My reaction to Michigan's loss to Illinois:

Granted, I don’t have a sweet beard.

quite the drop

in power after number 4, hopefully the Gophers have found their offense now and we can say the Big Ten has 5 solid teams.

I wouldn't get your hopes up too much

Most offenses we play against look like that if they’re willing to throw the ball and have anyone who is not color-blind doing so.
