15 Nov
Summary
- Wisconsin experienced a significant drop in rankings after recent performance.
- UCLA maintains a perfect record, leading the Big Ten Championship race.
- Teams with three conference losses are now out of championship contention.
Wisconsin experienced a significant downturn in the latest Big Ten football power rankings following Week 11. The team plummeted after allowing ten late points to Maryland, a team showing increased momentum late in the season. This shift occurred despite other Big Ten matchups, including Northwestern's competitive performance against Ohio State and Nebraska's decisive shutout victory over Rutgers.
In the ongoing race for the Big Ten Championship, UCLA continues to maintain a perfect record, positioning itself as a leading contender. Teams that have accumulated three conference losses are now mathematically eliminated from championship game contention. This development narrows the focus to UCLA and Indiana as the primary teams to watch for the remainder of the season.
Elsewhere in the conference, Iowa saw an increase in its power ranking, while USC experienced a decline. Other notable results from Week 11 included Washington securing a win against Michigan State and Penn State delivering a dominant performance against Minnesota, indicating a dynamic landscape within the Big Ten.
