A week after upsetting USC, Wisconsin lost 30-0 to Iowa. So much for any playoff talk surrounding the Badgers.
It once again took overtime this week against Minnesota, but the Hoosiers continue to win ugly games.
On the other hand, Nebraska seemingly finds a new way to self-destruct every week, most recently Saturday night against Washington.
The Wildcats blew a 20-6 lead to Oregon in Eugene, effectively ending any shot of them emerging as a surprise team in the conference race.

There is only one team remaining that is undefeated in Big Ten play: UCLA. Did anyone predict that?
