Ohio State is back in the top spot in this week’s Big Ten Power Rankings.
Entering Week 11, Indiana had been the most dominant team in college football this season, with a résumé that includes a pair of high-quality road wins over Oregon and Iowa. The Hoosiers came dangerously close to suffering their first loss of the season, however, as they squandered a 20-7 third-quarter lead to fall behind 24-20 at Penn State before surviving the scare with a game-winning touchdown on a spectacular catch by Omar Cooper Jr. with 36 seconds left to play.
Ohio State, on the other hand, rolled to its eighth straight win by at least three scores in a 34-10 victory at Purdue.
