And then there were two. The Nebraska Cornhuskers knocked off the Michigan State Spartans, giving the Big Ten only two undefeated teams left in college football. While the Spartans, College Football Playoff hopes haven’t been completely dashed, the loss puts Michigan State behind plenty of 1-loss teams vying for the Top 4.
Of course, the win didn’t put the (4-6) Huskers in the Top 25 AP Poll, but their victory shook up the Top 25 rankings on Sunday. With six Big Ten teams in the Top 25 of the AP Poll, it was a successful week for the conference, despite the Spartans’ loss.
