The home teams did pretty poorly this week, going 5-5. There were a few surprises this week:
- Wisconsin lost at Indiana on Tuesday. They were undefeated, and ranked #3, coming into this game.
- Ohio State lost at Minnesota on Thursday. That was their 3rd loss in a row, after starting the season 15-0, and ranked as high as #3.
- Northwestern won at Indiana on Saturday. Even in a rebuilding year, Indiana doesn’t lose many at home, and seldom to a lower-division team like Northwestern. IU was coming off their stunning upset of Wisconsin just 4 days before.
- Michigan won at Wisconsin on Saturday. This is probably the biggest surprise of the season, so far. Wisconsin hardly ever loses at home, and Michigan hadn’t won in Madison since 1999. Wisconsin has now lost 2 games in a row.

There are 2 big games this week:
- Iowa at Michigan on Wednesday – Iowa is much-improved this season, and they beat Ohio State in Columbus, but Michigan is tough at home.
- Michigan at Michigan State on Saturday – Michigan has a tough week. MSU is almost unbeatable in East Lansing.
