Wisconsin and Illinois are all over Herbstreit’s list for their upset performances against No. 25 Purdue and No. 7 Penn State. Head coach P.J. Fleck of Minnesota is also on the list.
B1G teams will have plenty of chances to get on Herbstreit’s list for Week 9 as there are multiple showdowns in each division.
