Michigan State paces Big Ten in latest AP & Coaches polls

There's a new team pacing the Big Ten in the latest AP and Coaches polls, released Monday.

That team is Michigan State, which comes in at No. 6 (AP) and No. 7 (Coaches) this week.

Iowa and Maryland aren't too far behind in either poll, though, coming in at No. 8/No. 8 and No. 10/No. 9, respectively.

Big Ten leader Indiana moves up to No. 18/No. 15 after a strong 2-0 week that included a victory over rival Purdue, which drops to No. 20/No. 19.
