The inclusion of Kent State is notable. They really looked sharp last week, another level sharp compared to most MAC schools. Give Harbaugh the boot and hire Sean Lewis; at least his kids hustle, take proper courses, and play with some urgency.

Three games in, they are as complete of a team as any in the Nation. I hope they keep it rolling and enter the National conversation. I'm not predicting they will, just hope they do.

To be completely honest, I think Clemson is better than #7, but sticking to what my numbers generate. They are fine and will be in if they win out.

I was surprised to see Texas A&M slip. Although I am a Buckeye fan I'm not sure what the outcome would be should the two teams play.

The final numbers are so close that teams can/will move around from week to week.

Every team looks good against Bowling Green and Akron. When those two play, it will be the pillow fight of the year.

The record of the teams Kent as beat this season.... 0-9. Only EMU hasn't been blown out in all three games.

Fair points.
EMU game was close, other 2 games were an average margin of victory of 36. I'm ok with that to be honest.

I'm pretty sure Indiana will be higher than 18, where I have them, in tonight's rankings.

"When those two play, it will be the pillow fight of the year."

Like two marshmallows colliding.

The point is well taken on Kent. They had a good 2019 season but didn't exactly distinguish themselves in the OOC games. Maybe it was the pay day thing like other MAC schools but they didn't back down from playing the Pac-12, Big 10 and SEC although I doubt that they went into those games expecting to win with the possible exception of ASU.

Minnesota/Wisconsin game cancelled.
Wisconsin now not eligible for BIG championship game.

You probably saw better games this past weekend in Massillon than the BG/ Akron game will be.

CFP Rankings....

#4 Ohio State
#8 Northwestern
#12 Indiana
#16 Wisconsin (No Big Ten Title game, they probably have no chance.)
#24 Iowa

I prefer watching SVSM than going to Akron tbh

Ryan Day has tested positive for COVID and will not travel to Illinois. OSU will not leave till Saturday morning now for Illinois.

Ohio State at Illinois has been canceled.

One more OSU cancellation and your Big Ten Championship Game: Northwestern vs. Indiana. Hey, the Big Ten could have two undefeated teams. Maybe we can get two teams in the College Football Playoff this way!

Best of luck to the teams that can play today.
Sorry that Illinois was healthy and couldn't play, that always sucks with this situation.

Congratulations, Iowa!
