Wisconsin’s shaky start—crushing loss to Notre Dame, then dominant win over Western Illinois—hints at raw talent masked by inconsistency, especially with over 30 new players. Across the Big Ten, Ohio State stays atop despite a nail-biter against Texas, while Indiana and USC shine—with USC’s offense lighting up but defense faltering when backups take over. Penn State and Oregon are neck-and-neck after Oregon’s disappointing loss, Michigan and Iowa battle close games, and Washington, Nebraska, UCLA hover near the middle, needing clutch plays. Maryland impresses with QB depth, while Illinois and Minnesota stumble—especially Minnesota at home—leaving Wisconsin at 15, arguably underrated after their brutal ND loss, poised for a climb as conference play heats up.
