Last week we were at 17 and now moved up to 15. It will be interesting to see if the AP and Coaches Poll both move NU up at least two slots as well.
"Northwestern (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) posted its second shutout of the season, while quarterback Clayton Thorson ran for two touchdowns in the Wildcats' dominant victory to open conference play.
The Wildcats have given up 35 points in five games this season, and in four home games they're allowing 6.3 points per game.
Thorson threw for 128 yards on 14-of-19 passing to go with his rushing TDs, while Justin Jackson ran for 120 yards on 20 carries. Northwestern held Minnesota (3-2, 0-1) to 173 yards and got a 13-yard fumble return TD from Anthony Walker. "
Here is the link for BR's poll which, at least for Northwestern, tracked the Coaches Poll for last week placing NU #17."
