Just looking to get people's thoughts on week 1 and see how things go throughout the season.

Illinois - didn't see the game so hope others will comment but looks like the came out fast and did exactly what they are supposed to do against a lesser opponent. Things to improve on?
Indiana - barely beating SIU...their defense is really bad. they are going to have to hope to out score opponents again.
Iowa - I expected a closer game. Maybe I expected better things out of the Redbirds but Iowa dominated them
Maryland - looked good. Probably the best of any east team this weekend until OSU plays tomorrow
Michigan - might have been the worst qb play I saw from the B1G this weekend. Looked mediocre.
Mich St - I got the feeling that MSU will work the first-game kinks out and will be a solid team in the east.
Minnesota - are they under-rated or is TCU vastly over-rated?
Nebraska - tough loss at home on a hail mary...probably still the best team in the west along with Wisky
Northwestern - big win for them but this was a boring game. Stanford couldn't do much on offense but NU didn't really impress me much. I don't think they will be that good.
Ohio St. - Plays tomorrow
Penn St - offensive line is terrible and defense didn't look much better. Very beatable this year.
Purdue - Plays today
Rutgers - did what they were supposed to do against a lesser opponent
Wisconsin - scheduling Alabama for game one is a brutal but I think they will be ok. They looked ok the first half but then just got over-powered the second half and couldn't keep up.

Thoughts?
