The Michigan Wolverines are slated at No. 21 in the latest edition of the BCS standings. The Wolverines are still alive for a Big Ten title and BCS Berth, but they'll need some help from either Minnesota or Iowa -- Nebraska's two remaining opponents. At 5-1 in the conference, the Huskers are currently tied for first with Michigan in the Legends Division. But Nebraska defeated the Wolverines in the teams' head-to-head game in October.
Nebraska is the current banner carrier for the conference in the Week 12 BCS standings. The Cornhuskers are No. 14 in the rankings, seven spots ahead of Michigan. They are the only two representatives from the Big Ten, with undefeated Ohio State ineligible for the BCS or a bowl game this season. The new No. 1 is Kansas State, which moved into the top spot after Alabama was knocked off by Texas A&M. Oregon is the No. 2 team, followed by an undefeated Notre Dame. Here's the complete Week 12 BCS standings:
