The Big Ten features five teams, including three in the top 8, in the latest AP and Coaches polls, released Sunday.
Three of the teams are ranked in the same position in both polls: No. 2 Ohio State, No. 8 Wisconsin and No. 15 Nebraska.
The other two Big Ten teams are pretty consistent across both polls, as Michigan is No. 4/5 (AP/Coaches) and Michigan State is No. 17/16.
