1. Ohio State (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten; LW: No. 1) -- The Buckeyes beat Michigan State in a classic Big Ten battle, 17-16. Urban Meyer's team has holes throughout, but so does the entire conference. Next up: vs. Nebraska, Saturday, 8 p.m. ET (ABC).
2. Nebraska (4-1, 1-0; LW: No. 3) -- Taylor Martinez still has that same crazy throwing motion, but he's been so much more effecient as a passer than he was last season. Look for a shootout in Columbus. Next up: at Ohio State, Saturday, 8 p.m. ET (ABC).
3. Northwestern (5-0, 1-0; LW: No. 4) -- Northwestern's inexperience showed as it nearly blew a 27-point lead over Indiana. Nonetheless, the Wildcats are 5-0 for the third time in five years. Next up: at Penn State, Saturday, 12 p.m. ET (ESPN).
4. Purdue (3-1, 0-0; LW: No. 5) -- If quarterback Caleb TerBush can continue to put up big numbers, the Boilermakers have a great shot at winning the Leaders division. Next up: vs. Michigan, Saturday, 4 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network).
5. Michigan (2-2, 0-0; LW: No. 6) -- For every 6.8 completions, Denard Robinson is throwing an interception. That's downright pitiful for a Division-1A quarterback. Next up: at Purdue, Saturday, 4 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network).
6. Michigan State (3-2, 0-1; LW: No. 2) -- Le'Veon Bell kissed his Heisman chances goodbye with a 17-carry, 45-yard performance against Ohio State at home. Next up: at Indiana, Saturday, 12 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network).
7. Penn State (3-2, 1-0; LW: No. 9) -- The Nittany Lions have won three games in a row behind the stellar play of quarterback Matt McGloin — no, not a misprint — and the entire defense. Next up: vs. Northwestern, Saturday, 12 p.m. ET (ESPN).
8. Wisconsin (3-2, 0-1; LW: No. 7) -- Montee Ball coughed up the Badgers' upset bid over Nebraska when he fumbled at midfield with less than a minute to play. Next up: vs. Illinois, Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPN2).
9. Iowa (3-2, 1-0; LW: No. 10) -- Hopefully that conclusive victory over Minnesota last week will put the Hawkeyes in a winning direction. Next up: BYE
10. Minnesota (4-1, 0-1; LW: No. 8) -- Yeah.. well.. see, what happened was.. Next up: BYE
11. Illinois (2-3, 0-1; LW: No. 11) -- In a year where the Leaders division would be handed to the Illini if they were even mediocre, they've lost three of four and have been outscored 132-45 during those losses. Next up: at Wisconsin, Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPN2).
12. Indiana (2-2, 0-1; LW: No. 12) -- The Hoosiers are the worst team in the Big Ten until proven otherwise. Simple as that. Next up: vs. Michigan State, Saturday, 12 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network).

Generally, ranking is based on won-lost record of games, with the team with the best record at the top, and the worst record at the bottom. www.intercore.com.mx In most sports, with association football generally being an exception, teams with the better records are awarded the advantage of playing in the postseason and all the glory that accompanies this privilege.
