After shellacking Michigan State and holding off Michigan, Iowa soared into the top 10 in the AP and Coaches polls. The Hawkeyes landed at #9 in both polls, falling a few spots behind Maryland, who dropped to #7 in the AP and #5 in the Coaches after a close road loss to Michigan. The Spartans also remained in the top 10 in the Coaches (#10) but plummeted to #11 in the AP due to a winless week. Purdue (#22/22) and new entrant Indiana (#25/23) rounded out the Big Ten teams in the polls.
Also, Michigan received six votes from the coaches thanks to its win over Maryland.
