After seeing a cool photo set of the governors' residence of the United States on Reddit, we felt it our duty to rank the mansions of the Big Ten.
10. Michigan
Is that a governor's mansion or your uncle Robert's modest ranch?
9. Pennsylvania
Congratulations, Pennsylvania. Your governor lives in a McMansion.
8. Indiana
Plus: Great architecture and brick work. Minus: It's in Indiana.
7. Wisconsin
HEY LOOK, IT'S THE WHITE HOU—WAIT, IS THAT A RIVER OF CHEESE IN THE BACK YARD?
6. New Jersey
What are you overcompensating for, New Jersey?
5. Illinois
Classic, which is not what you first think of when imagining Springfield, Illinois. Bonus: Illinois actually has a second governor's residence.
4. Maryland
You're alright, Maryland. This is where we want to die on a mountain of crab cakes.
3. Minnesota
Beautiful when snow isn't covering the lawn. Still kind of nice, then, too. Please tell me the governor wears a smoking jacket. And there's a grotto in the back. There's definitely a grotto.
2. Iowa
Okay, Iowa. That's pretty baller. Even more so when you find out that the top of the tower is Kirk Ferentz's after hours club.
1. Ohio
Now, this is what a governor's mansion should look like. Ohio wins again.
