Just like the USA Today Poll, Michigan State is the highest ranked Big Ten team in the AP Top 25. The Spartans are 11th in the Week 13 edition of the poll, coming in four spots ahead of No. 15 Wisconsin. The two teams are 10th and 12th in the USA Today Poll, so evidently the AP voters aren't quite as high on the two teams that will likely meet in Indianapolis in a couple weeks in the first ever Big Ten title game.
The third highest ranked Big Ten team in the AP Top 25 is Michigan. The Wolverines moved up to 17th following their dismantling of Nebraska, which fell to 22nd. Penn State is in between the two teams at No. 20 in the nation.
