certainly a contender at this point. Along with about three or four other teams.unbelievable. like literally I'm not sure I even believe this is reality and feels too good to be true. Who would've guessed 3 years ago that RU would comfortably be sitting at #11 !?
The Big Ten is a long slate - but my brain is starting to ponder ... Big Ten champ contender !?
I know we are excited but this league is too tough to not have ups and downs which we will have; don't forget last year I think first place was 14-6!!! But lets enjoy the heck out of this and lets beat OSU on Wednesday
Yeah that’s ugly.It is a deep league this year for sure. After taking down Michigan State Sunday, our reward at Northwestern for the next seven games is away games at Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, and Ohio State, plus home contests with Ohio State, Illinois, and Iowa. If there's an easy one there, I'm missing it, and at that point we won't even have played Rutgers or Wisconsin yet.
It happened to MSU in the same poll but in the wrong direction.I'm interested to know how often a team moves eight spots in one week in the Top 25. It's very rare in football, where pollsters seem to have teams slotted after their initial rankings, making movement difficult.

Hush your mouth!I'm sorry, but I'm having trouble processing all of this positive news. I keep thinking I'm dreaming and Mike Rice is going to fire a basketball at my head to wake me up and snap me back to reality.
A lotHow much money could we have made if we bet someone two years ago that we would be as high as 11th in the country in two years?

Now, let's just avoid a Cincinnati moment at tOSU... if you know what I mean.
