Three in the Top 10; a Quarter of the Sweet 16

The AP and Coaches Polls both were made public in the wee small hours of the morning. The Big Ten finished the 2009 season with much more respect than it had to open the season. Ohio State, Iowa and Wisconsin should have high rankings to begin the year. I anticipate that Penn State will be ranked as well. The SEC will still, justifiably, be considered the best conference in football, but the Big Ten can make a stronger case than anyone else that it is second. And gaining ground on the leader. Happy New Year indeed!
