Wisconsin is now their best win. Middle of the Big 10 is mess with Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Northwestern

Comment: Holy shit, what a dominant shut out win against Wisconsin. This is a case where even though I predicted Iowa to win, my perception of them shot way up because they won in a much more dominant fashion than I initially thought.

I don't know what it is, but I'm convinced Kirk Ferentz is eternal. He and Phil Parker schemed up a defensive masterclass this past weekend in Kinnick, relegating the previously-ranked Badgers back into the Honorable Mentions section. Build the statue... hopefully not under center at QB.

_THE__BOULDER_ 20 Iowa previously dropped from the rankings (for the last week before returning) due to getting out-Iowa'd. This weekend they absolutely destroyed Wisconsin. Even my Iowan friends are not entirely sure where this came from but it was a good win and puts Iowa back into the rankings.

ResearchFlaky5912 21 Wisconsin is back outside the top 25, but a dominating performance against them is still impressive. The Minnesota loss doesn't look as bad now that they took #8 to overtime. The Big 10 is just a little weird this season. And to be fair, I think I was a little harsh on the Hawkeyes last week; in hindsight, they should have been maybe 24 or 25.
