Here is the update after week one.
M definitely moves up in their opinions. I don't think that is much of a surprise.

The Struggles for Iowa and OSU and the Illinois defeat hurt those teams. The overall BigTen rankings appear to be:
| Place | Sclabach | Change | Feldman | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | PSU | +1 | PSU | 0 |
| 2 | OSU | -1 | OSU | 0 |
| 3 | MSU | +3 | MSU | +1 |
| 4 | Iowa | -1 | Wisconsin | +1 |
| 5 | M | +2 | M | +3/+4 |
| 6 | Wisconsin | -1 | Northwestern | +1 |
| 7 | Illinois | -3 | Illinois | -4 |
| 8 | N/A | Minnesota | 0/+1 |
Both predict only one school making a BCS game - I don't think that is very controversial at this point. OSU can really help the conference reputation with a good showing against the Trojans. Michigan would probably have to beat the Irish (Gator Bowl prediction for both writers) to improve the status of the conference.
The biggest surprise for me is minimal change for Iowa by Schlabach after their near defeat by UNI, and only minimal change for Wisconsin after a closer game than was expected.
