Everyone feel free to post your own list. Here is mine.

1. MSU 
They are the defending champions. They should be #1 for now.

2. Ohio state
OSU proved last year they can win without Miller, they will always be near the top no matter who is the QB.

3. Iowa
The easy schedule is over-rated. An easy schedule can make an otherwise 8-4 team a 9-3 team instead but it can't turn it into a 12-1 conference champ. Whoever wins the west has to beat the other teams in its division. But with that said, I believe that Iowa will be the best team in the west.

4. Wisconsin
They may be better by Nov, but right now I cant put them any higher

5. Nebraska
A lot has been said about Pellini always winning 9 games which tells me they are overdue for a 7-6 season

6. Minnesota
I am surprised how little respect Minny is getting after 2 straight bowl seasons

7. Maryland
Don't know much about MD. But they were 7-6 last year

8. Indiana
its time to put up or shut up for Kevin Wilson

9. Michigan
Idk, they were just so bad down the stretch last year. I think they got some issues.

10. ILLINOIS
They got to get better, right? 

11. Penn State
PSU is a mystery to me. If they were going to bottom out due to the penalties, this might be the year, right?

12. Rutgers
Dont know much about Rutgers, but they dont seem to get much respect in pre-season rankings

13. Northwestern
while I agree last year NW was the unluckiest team in the history of the big ten, that fact covers up for a downward trend that I think will continue. I just have a feeling NW will totally bottom out this year.

14. Purdue
Purdue was just awful last year. They cant possibly be that bad again. But for now, they are #14 until they get that break-through win.

For the top 5 I go with

Michigan State
Ohio State
Nebraska
Wisconsin
Penn State (brought in ton of talent)

The rest I go along with yours

Penn State is an interesting choice for the top 5. While I have no doubt that Franklin will get PSU back to Top 25 status eventually, I am thinking it will take longer than his first season.
