Plus, the Heisman and player of the week.
The SB Nation Big Ten writers have been getting together every week this football season to determine the REAL NCAA Top 10. I’d like to think that Purdue played a real part in this week’s rankings as they were the team that Oregon trounced in order to elevate themselves to the number one ranking. That’s something right? Sure, it helped that Texas got beat, but I like to focus on the fact that a Purdue loss played a very important part in the new rankings. Don’t take that away from me. Without further ado, here are this week’s rankings.
