Big Ten Power Poll - Post Week 6

Let's be honest. Two of the easiest columns to write (and get feedback from your readers) are 1) the power rankings column and 2) the pop culture comparison column. Much like that magical day when somebody got their peanut butter on my chocolate (or did I get my chocolate in her peanut butter?), it was predestined that one day these two great columns would be brought together...

So last week's ranking compared each of the twelve Big Ten schools to past Presidents of the United States of America. Needless to say, some of you were not happy.

"It's too political!" "We'll argue and start hating each other!" "Politics and football don't mix well!" "I don't know what we're yelling about!" 

Anyway, I realize now that I pushed the envelope way too far with this group. And as a result, I've decided to see that this week's power poll involves as little controversy as possible. So, as the picture above indicates, we have a different topic for this week's poll.
