Winner: Iowa State (Up to No. 12)

The Cyclones have completely shifted the narrative around their season after the first few weeks, when they had two losses and one of them was a 17-point defeat at the hands of Louisiana. Iowa State is now a virtual lock to play in the Big 12 championship game and this is coming after their come-from-behind win over Texas on Friday.

This is the first season in school history that Iowa State has beaten both Texas and Oklahoma in the same season and now the Cyclones have their eyes on a conference championship.

Winner: Indiana (Up to No. 10)

It seems like the Hoosiers are in my column weekly and they are once again considered a winner because they moved up courtesy of some teams in front of them losing and for the way that Indiana bounced back after suffering a tough loss to Ohio State a week ago.

Some thought that the Hoosiers would be in for a letdown this week, but they responded by winning big over Maryland and Indiana’s dream season keeps going.
