Week 11 of the college football season saw the Big Ten's top-ranked teams handle their business.
In the conference's lone noon ET window game of the week, Fernando Mendoza led No. 2 Indiana (No. 2 in College Football Playoff) to a thrilling 27-24 win over Penn State in Happy Valley with a game-winning touchdown pass to Omar Cooper Jr. with 36 seconds remaining. The win for the Hoosiers has them at 10 wins on the season, while the loss has the Nittany Lions at 0-6 in Big Ten play for the first time in 21 years.
Julian Sayin led No. 1 Ohio State (No. 1 CFP) to a 34-10 win on the road at Purdue. The Heisman Trophy betting favorite completed 27 of 33 passes for 303 yards and a touchdown, while the Buckeyes held wide receiver Carnell Tate out for the entirety of the game due to injury.
In the conference's lone top-25 matchup of the week, No. 6 Oregon (No. 9 CFP) picked up its second win of the season against No. 24 Iowa (No. 20 CFP). The win not only keeps the Ducks in the mix for a trip back to the Big Ten championship game, but should help boost Dan Lanning's team's CFP resume after they received a No. 9 seed in the first CFP rankings reveal.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin snapped its 63-day losing skid with a 13-10 win over Washington at Camp Randall Stadium, with fans storming the field after the game. The win marked the first win of Big Ten play this season for the Badgers and Luke Fickell, who had his hot seat cooled down with the backing from athletic director Chris McIntosh earlier in the week.
Here's a look at how those games are reflected in the US LBM Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 rankings after Week 11:
