Big Ten Week 11 power rankings: Iowa climbs, USC/Wisconsin fall

A USC victory over Indiana could've changed everything, but instead, the top portion of the Big Ten power rankings remains the same.

Wisconsin plummeted after allowing 10 late points to Maryland, a team that is picking up steam late in the season.

Elsewhere, Northwestern put up a fight against Ohio State, Nebraska blanked Rutgers, Washington got past Michigan State, Penn State blew out Minnesota, UCLA remained perfect, and Oregon and Iowa remained in the hunt.

Teams with three conference losses are now out of the picture when it comes to the final Big Ten Championship game, and at the current moment, all eyes remain on UCLA and Indiana.
