Big Ten Football: Week 10 Power Rankings

3. Wisconsin

Week 10 result – 21-7 win over Northwestern

Wisconsin’s incredible defense has proven once again that they are one of the best in the nation. As teams like Texas A&M begin to concede late int he season, the Badgers are looking to take advantage and earn their spot in the top four.

Much like Penn State, Wisconsin needs a little help, but it isn’t unlikely they see their name in the College Football Playoff. Their two losses don’t look too favorable right now. That doesn’t mean that with a Big Ten Championship, the Badgers can’t prove to be worthy in the College Football Playoff committee’s eyes.

As this point, it’s all on Wisconsin. If they want to have any chance at cracking the top four they need to win. By going undefeated the rest of the season, Wisconsin could find their way into the third College Football Playoff.
