The official SB Nation Big Ten writers poll is the only truly unbiased poll any college football fan could ever need.
AP Poll? Shmay Pee Poll! Coaches Poll? We all know that coaches don’t have time to fill out a weekly survey, let alone watch enough games to make informed choices! That’s why your friendly neighborhood Big Ten writers from across the SB Nation universe have banded together to come up with the only fair, accurate, non-biased poll in all of college football.
Every week, a writer from the 16 sites covering specific B1G schools (lowly UCLA and USC don’t have SBN sites) will submit their picks, and O Basse from Michigan State site The Only Colors will compile them into the official SBN Big Ten Writers Poll
.
I will keep you updated on our selections here on Land-Grant Holy Land, and I will let you know how I vote every week because we believe in truth, justice, and transparency in journalism here in Buckeye Country.
There will also be a Player of the Week selected by the Big Ten writers. So, without further ado, here is the post-Week 3 SB Nation Big Ten Writers Poll.
These rankings coincide with my Top-12 picks every week on the “No Fall Weddings” podcast in the Land-Grant Podcast Network feed, which you can subscribe to anywhere you get your favorite audio entertainment.
New episodes come out every Wednesday afternoon. “No Fall Weddings” is your one-stop-shop for everything you need to know about the Buckeyes and the rest of the college football world.

Ok, I get it, he’s a Manning and playing at Texas, so the eyes of the college football world were always going to be on him, but let’s pump the breaks a bit on this “Player of the Week” talk. He had a nice little game in place of the injured Heisman frontrunner against a really bad, in-state Group of Five team — no offense Roadrunners.
He went a very good 9-for-12 through the air for 223 yards and 4 touchdowns; not to mention a 53-yard rushing TD in two and a half quarters. Again, no knock on the kid or the numbers, he did what you would want from him, but if a blue-blood, Power Four quarterback did that against the No. 98 team in SP+ and then exited mid-third quarter, no one would be talking about it like it was anything other than what was expected.
