    Um, not sure how Michigan jumps Penn State after Penn State dominated them this week, but ok. And Northwestern #7? I know they beat Sparty, but really?

      Mike.. Mike.. Mike.. Don't look a gift horse or Spartan in the mouth.. or any other body part for that matter..

      So.. you ask.. "Hey SpartyMSU.. How do it Be..??"  Well Let me clear it up and share my opinions...
      1) Strength of Schedules are close between Michigan and PSU..  But Michigan had a bit harder schedule.
      2) PSU has 1 more win....
      3) I think Battle, Cornley and Pringle will take the team farther this season than Harris and Sims. They are older, more experience, and in this long season, they will win out.  But for now... the young kids are HOT... Except this last game...
      4) I think the Michigan win over Duke and UCLA were statistical outliers for them this year. I see no trend. Maybe next year, not this year.  But, I don't see even the wierd outlier wins for PSU.. maybe wins vs Purdue or Temple.??  but they're not Duke or UCLA...
      5) PSU beat Micigan . yeah.. but need to see a better trend of wins.. also beat Iowa and Indy.. but that doesn't count.... Purdue was inpressive.. lets see whats going on by Valentines day and the Minny game.

      As for the WildCats at #7: Except for an away loss at Wisconsin, they haven't been spanked all year.  They are a gutsy team.  They lost to PSU in Happy Valley, and beat Minny and Michigan State in back to back wins, and earlier Butler, and Florida State.    I figure they were tired and lost on the road after the Huge win in East Lansing and lost to Michigan.. .  I think they are a good team. 

      The middle group of teams will go up and down a like the tide.... but they seem to be huddled together..

      Iowa and Indiana at the Bottom, MSU, Purdue, Illinois, and Minny at the Top, and everyone else shifting places in the middle.

      I hope this at least helps out MIke.... If not, the fall back answer is.. Opinions are like ass holes.. we all have'em, butt not everyone likes'em...

      Maybe you can share your opinion with me on Sunday;s and I'll combine the SpartyMSU / BSD into 1 ranking with the others as reference points...
