1. Purdue (21-5, 12-1). Last week: 1. Purdue became the prohibitive favorite with its win over MSU and IU's loss to Wisconsin.

2. Wisconsin (21-4, 11-2). Last week: 3. I'm not yet sold on the Badgers, but a sweep is a sweep.

3. Indiana (21-4, 10-2). Last week: 2. After a tough week and a tough loss to Wisconsin, IU played its best game of the year against MSU.

4. Michigan State (20-5, 8-4). Last week: 4. The disappointing Spartans need all of the top three to fall apart to have a chance.

5. Ohio State (17-9, 8-5). Last week: 5. The Buckeyes can save their NCAA bid with remaining home games against Purdue, Wisconsin, and MSU, but the loss to Michigan will be tough to overcome.

7. Michigan (8-17, 4-9). Last week: 9. The Wolverines showed a little life with a home win against Penn State.
