Rankings courtesy of the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA Today Sports.
Iowa is coming off a bye. The extra time off probably felt longer than usual for the Hawkeyes as they were knocked off as the No. 2 team in the AFCA Coaches Poll in their last game 24-7 at Purdue Oct. 16. It was a week after they defeated then-No. 4 Penn State 23-20 in a top-five showdown in Iowa City.
Wisconsin ran over Purdue 30-13 Saturday for a third consecutive win. The Badgers, which covered the spread as 3.5-point favorites, outrushed the Boilermakers 290 yards to -13 yards. You read that right. Negative 13 yards. Junior RB Chez Mellusi and freshman RB Braelon Allen recorded career highs in rushing yards, running for 149 yards with a touchdown and 140 yards with 2 TDs, respectively.
