College football rankings after Week 9: Updated Coaches Poll, AP Top 25 for Big Ten
How will the Big Ten's showing in Week 9 be reflected in the updated Week 9 Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 rankings? Here's what to know.
Halloween in the Big Ten brought both rewards and challenges for its teams. In a crucial matchup, No. 25 USC defeated No. 2 Ohio State 30-18 thanks to freshman quarterback Luke Fahey's performance. The win not only eased the pressure on Trojan coach Lincoln Riley but also disrupted Ohio State's College Football Playoff hopes. Other notable performances included No. 4 Indiana's overtime victory over Minnesota 23-16, and No. 18 Northwestern's 34-26 win against Oregon after a back-and-forth game.
UCLA, ranked No. 7, dominated Nevada 27-0, while Michigan secured a 28-21 home win against Rutgers. Notably, No. 24 Iowa dominated Wisconsin 30-0 in a rivalry game, holding the Badgers to a paltry 235 total yards and nine first downs. These results had a significant impact on the latest national rankings, though the specific details of the updated Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 were not provided in the source.
