Inside the top 10, the game of the week was Michigan vs. Michigan State, which ended in a close upset win for the Spartans, which knocked the Wolverines down a spot in the rankings, but wasn't enough to switch the two overall just yet. Outside the top 10, Wisconsin's blowout upset of Iowa moved them up to #12 and dropped the Hawkeyes to 17, the biggest moves in the top 25, along with Minnesota's move into the 25 after the Gophers won yet again, though they still haven't hit the meat of their conference schedule yet. I've switched out Michigan for Ohio State in my playoff picks, with Baylor, Alabama, Michigan, and Michigan State in consideration still but currently on the outside looking in. Here are my full current rankings, with projected conference champs in bold, runners-up underlined, and playoff teams in red:
