USC is hard for me to figure right now. I'm also very curious about this game. With a win, Wisconsin could still finish 9-3, but I think 7-5 is more likely. A loss at either Maryland or Purdue should lead to an immediate change at the top. At 7-5 Fickell should still be gone. At 8-4, assuming a win over Minnesota, that's just enough for the Badgers to be considered ok. Not "back," but marginally ok.

• OHIO STATE (1) - not sure they can beat USC if Sayin is out though
• INDIANA (2) - so they can bleed
• UCLA (3) - it's starting to look difficult for them NOT to make the CFP
• OREGON (5) - not the Oregon offense we are used to, but a W is a W
• NEBRASKA (4) - has to feel like they should be undefeated
• IOWA (6) - bye week
• NORTHWESTERN (7) - gutty win when they weren't able to get their run game going
• USC (8) - bye week
• WISCONSIN (9) - the cross country trips are never fun, but this defense deserves better
• PURDUE (10) - throw #10 through #14 in any order, and I'd have a tough time arguing
• MINNESOTA (11) - bye week
• MICHIGAN (12) - got the spark they were looking for
• WASHINGTON (15) - just when I was ready to write them off
• ILLINOIS (14) - bye week
• PENN STATE (13) - going into a bye week, and then playing 5 opponents they should beat, lets see what they have
• MICHIGAN STATE (16) - second week in a row they were in a position to win, and couldn't make the play
• RUTGERS (18) - at least they haven't quit
• MARYLAND (17) - they have

I am still not convinced that USC is any better than Wiscy in the power rankings,  but if USC can travel to Madison and pull off the W,  then of course I will concede I was wrong .
