hokies220	6	Slight edge over Auburn and ND for winning on the road. All the teams were involved in close games this week, but getting a division win this early might be key with games against Duke, Michigan, and MSU in three of their next four.
relax_on_the_mat	6	Beat a game Purdue team with a dude at WR on the road.

T-Thugs	8	Defeated Purdue on the road. Purdue isn't great, but they are a power 5 team and they had some high hopes this year after finishing 7-6 last season and defeating Arizona in a bowl game.├â┬é├é┬á
311polo	9	Purdue is a solid team and probably one of the top-25 overall in the country and Northwestern handled them.├é┬á├é┬á
W_Is_For_Will	9	That was a fun Thursday night game to kick off the season for me. 1-0 in conference and leads the Big10 West.

moistats_	22	That Purdue win looks strong enough for them to survive my movement in the 20's of my poll. People already said how powerful Northwestern can be so I don't need to say anything. The match against Duke will probably decide who gets to stay in my poll next week.

xelphin	22	A surprisingly good first-week matchup against a conference opponent, and Northwestern came out early and finished the first half with 31 points. Though they didn't score in the second half, they were still able to win by virtue of their defense, but I think that's also because Purdue is going to be secretly good this year.

nickknx865	23	The Evanston eggheads went down and notched a Big Ten conference win on the road at Purdue, and looked pretty decent in the process. My composite rating actually likes them at 21st, but we'll be cautious for now.

bgr308	24	Northwestern won a tight game Thursday night against conference rival Purdue. It was a close game, but it seemed the Wildcats were in control for most of the game, as Purdue scored twice late to get it close. The defense forced 3 turnovers and RB Jeremy Larkin rushed for 143 yards and 2 touchdowns. Game could have been won by Purdue if not for a costly unnecessary roughness penalty late. Northwestern hosts Michigan in three weeks, which should show if the Wildcats are able to make a push in the B1G West.
BosskOnASegway	24	Beating Purdue is no longer a given.├é┬á Purdue is a strong win moving a border team into the top 25 for me.

woakley	24	Northwestern didn't show me anything I didnt expect in their week one win over Purdue. This Wildcat team is good, but I still feel like they are't quite ready to compete with the big dogs in the conference. No move for them.
52hoova	25	Good road win this week. Gotta put someone down here.
