AP Poll Week 13: B1G lands 4 teams in latest top 25 as shakeup comes before The Game

The latest AP Poll is here!

While we wait on The Game, the Big Ten saw much of what it’s seen most of the season with rankings: Ohio State (2), Michigan (3), Penn State (11) and Iowa (20).

The top 5 teams, all undefeated, had held their places for 5 straight weeks, and they all won on Saturday to move to 11-0, but the order changed in this poll.

Oregon is still the first one-loss team on the poll with the Ducks followed by Texas and Alabama. Penn State — last week’s No. 12 — moved up one spot after it fell 3 spots last week after the loss to Michigan. Iowa’s win over Illinois propelled the Hawkeyes back into the poll.

Nationally, Florida State fell out of the top 4 after a serious injury to QB Jordan Travis. Oregon State also dropped 5 spots following a loss to Washington.
