Northwestern makes a big leap in latest Amway Coaches Poll

As we have seen over the past few weeks, there wasn’t much change at the top of the Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY. However, there was some significant movement after the top ten, particularly with two Big Ten schools, one of whom Michigan State will face next week.

The Spartans will hope to play the spoiler next week as underdogs but it’s looking like Northwestern will be winning the Big Ten West and face Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship. If they can win that upset they could stake a claim for the College Football Playoff…

Wisconsin took Northwestern’s spot in the poll at No. 20 following the loss.
