Big Ten Power Rankings, Week 11: League in a precarious College Football Playoff position
The Big Ten expected to enter the stretch run of the season wondering if the conference could increase the number of teams it sent to the College Football Playoff from three in 2025 to four in 2026.
Instead, with three weeks to play, the conference is staring down a reality where they are hopeful to get two teams in — and that isn't even a guarantee. The latest batch of rankings from the CFP committee were unkind to the Big Ten, as undefeated UCLA climbed to No. 4, but Indiana slipped five spots to the No. 9 ranking despite being on a bye week.

Where Football Polls and Metrics Have Nebraska Placed Going Into Week 11
Nebraska dropped its fourth consecutive game on Friday night and, no surprise, the polls and rankings reacted accordingly.
For the Huskers, who need to win one of their final three games to become bowl eligible, this season of great promise and expectations after a 5-0 start has come down to beating either Rutgers, Ohio State or Iowa.
Nebraska lost at Illinois on Friday, 24-13. Huskers offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen was fired the next day. Nebraska’s previous three losses were one-score affairs and in each game, the Huskers led in the fourth quarter.
Losing such heartbreakers can take an emotional toll on the coaches, players and fans, but so can an 11-point loss at Illinois — a game the Huskers realistically expected to win. With a win against the Illini, the Huskers still had a chance for a respectable season by winning out. We suppose with three consecutive wins to end the season, that still can happen for Nebraska, but have the Huskers shown enough to make anyone think three more wins will happen?
