Big Ten football live standings, results: How Week 11 shapes conference title race

The Big Ten standings and results from Week 11 and how it changes the conference championship game picture.

As Week 11 kicks off in the Big Ten conference, the race for a spot in the College Football Playoff heats up. Only 15 of the 18 teams remain in contention for the final championship game in Indianapolis. UCLA and Indiana are currently leading the pack, but the standings could shift dramatically with just three weeks remaining in the season.

UCLA, unbeaten at 10-0, has a chance to make history by becoming the first team in the conference to reach a Big Ten championship game since 2012. The Bruins are just one win away from securing their spot in the College Football Playoff. Meanwhile, Indiana is also in contention with an 8-1 record, needing wins in their remaining games or a loss from Ohio State, Oregon, or USC to have a shot at the championship.

Other teams with promising paths forward include Oregon, Ohio State, Iowa, Wisconsin, and USC. For these teams to make the conference title game, they must either win out or hope that several other teams lose. The stakes are high as the conference title race unfolds during Week 11 of the Big Ten football season.
