Coaches poll

How did Wisconsin drop a spot for beating Iowa? I think OSU was punished a bit too much for losing essentially on a fluky play- the blocked kick return TD- in a tough road environment. Are we a top-6 team? Let the hand-wringing begin (continue).

Likely in the top 4. It really depends on The Game and what some other teams do down the stretch. But if we win out, we will definitely be top 4 at the end of the regular season.

 
If Nebraska were to remain undefeated up to and including the Big 10 championship, how far do you think we could rise? #3 or even as far as #2?
missed that last part. If we win the Big Ten Championship we would be either #2 behind Bama or #1 in my opinion. We would have the best wins, especially if we caught an undefeated Michigan in the BTC. Wins over a (records at the end of the regular season) 12-0 Michigan 10-2 Ohio State and a 9-3 Wisconsin would be a fantastic resume
 
Thanks, dont know why Coaches poll get's posted as coaches long ago have said they have no time to watch teams outside their divisions. AP guys at least watch the games and it shows in their rankings.
The first 5 slots are identical. The next 3 teams are the same, just a different order. The next 2 teams are switched. Wisconsin is the same in both. Slots 12-14 same teams, different order, as is 15-17 and 19-21. Tennessee is 18 in both. Navy, Colorado and VTech are the same in both polls. The only real difference is Houston in one and Penn St in the other at #24

Seems pretty consistant to me

This is the highest we've been ranked since 'Red Out Around the World' against Texas in 2010, and only the second time we've been top-6 or higher since January 3, 2002.
