Comment: It's hard to rank teams off canceled games. Because of Wisconsin's COVID-19 outbreak, the Badgers game against Nebraska last week and Purdue this week are no contests. Wisconsin looked great in the opener, but it was against a weak Illinois team. Penn State is another conundrum, as the Nittany Lions are better than their 0-2 record indicates.
