Doogitywoogity	19	At this point, it’s more a fact of “well someone has to be ranked” and if it’s got to be someone it should probably be UIUC. They’ve had a good year, just lost in the big games, but they can still have a meaningful season and could even get a long shot bid to the playoffs if they handle Washington and win out.

MyAngelMiraidon	22	There is no reasonable way that only 3 Big 10 teams end up ranked here. Of the 5-2 teams they are the best option because their two losses are to #1 and #2, and USC is one of the 5-2 teams I compared them to. That and the Colley Matrix seems to fa.vour this team, so might as well

_THE__BOULDER_	24	I had dropped them out of the rankings after their loss to Ohio State last week which I probably shouldn't have done (had them at 19 the week before), but I was more impressed with some of the teams I had ranked ahead of them at the time, like Washington and Memphis. They're back in just ahead of USC due to the losses in front of them
