Winner: Iowa (Up to No. 19)

The Iowa Hawkeyes have been one of the most underrated teams in the Big Ten and the country this season and they are showing it each week. The Hawkeyes had to overcome a deficit against Illinois on Saturday, but Iowa came back to win by two touchdowns and their defense was really impressive after a tough start.

If Iowa had not had a couple of fluky losses at the beginning of the season to Purdue and Northwestern, this team could be playing for a Big Ten title. Solid season for the Hawkeyes, though.

Winner: Buffalo (Up to No. 24)

The first team from the MAC to be ranked this season, the Buffalo Bulls have enjoyed a nice season and have been riding off of the performances of running back Jarrett Patterson, who had an eight touchdown performance against Kent State a couple of weeks ago. The Bulls are fun to watch and it was good to see them get an opportunity to be ranked because they have earned it this season.
