That’s right boys and girls, no pre-rank ramblings from Yours Truly this week. Let’s get right to the rankings, shall we?
1. Ohio State – Say what you want about Terrelle Pryor’s ineffectiveness as a passer but the Buckeyes just find ways to rack up points as two pick-sixes by the defense helped turn what should’ve [...]

Three things are certain at the end of every September: Fall foliage begins, Conference play in college football begins, and HHV’s Big Ten Power Rankings rise from the woodwork. Now in its third season, the rankings have become some sort of a staple of this blog that has led to plenty of praise along with [...]

That’s right, boys and girls: Fresh off the grill in time for the arrival of summer are 2009’s first batch of what has become a fan favorite here at HHV…And by “fan favorite” I mean the few friends who’ve drunk-dialed me in the past to tell me how much they love the Big Ten power [...]

Apologies for not getting these up sooner but hey, better late than never, right?
It’s hard to believe that another college football regular season is about to pass us by and that I’m about to close the books on my second annual power rankings. It sure seems like yesterday that I debuted my very first set [...]

Some quick thoughts on tonight’s 65-51 win by the Fighting DeChellises over Bill & Mary:
Cornley and Battle are picking up where they left off last season…Now we need a third consistent scorer to emerge if we’re going to take a giant leap forward this year. Stanley Pringle and DJ Jackson looked like strong candidates w/12 [...]

Since PSU has the week off, and with Yours Truly needing several days to come down from cloud nine over last week’s victory, I took some time off as well.
However, I’m not about to take the week off when it comes to power rankings, not as this critical juncture in the season with the first [...]

In a better effort to chronologically track my power rankings, I’ve decided to label them with the week of the college football season that we’re approaching. In this case, Week 9 is on the horizon.
Enough of that technical garbage though, onto the rankings…
1. Penn State – Only a dominating second half performance against a motivated [...]

1. Penn State (2) – I don’t give a damn how overrated Wisconsin was by preseason prognosticators: Going into Camp Randall Stadium and handing the Badgers their worst defeat since the pre-Barry Alvarez era is an impressive feat worthy of a de-throning.
2. Ohio State (1) – The Buckeyes’ lone offensive TD against Purdue last [...]

Terrelle Pryor’s dramatic go-ahead TD run in the final minute at Wisconsin this past weekend helped to ensure there would be no shake-ups at the top of the list (at least, for now). The Buckeye QB may only be a freshman, but he sure showed a senior-like poise in the face of adversity as he [...]

You know what they say: Better late than never. As expected, there’s been some shifting near the top and a huge shakeup in the bottom half thanks to Michigan’s incredible rally/Wisconsin’s choking on horse spunk.
1. Ohio State (1) – Now that Beanie Wells is back and ready to average the 300 yards per game he [...]
