The latest AP and Coaches polls were released Sunday, and the Big Ten continues to field four teams in the top 10.

Reigning Big Ten champ Penn State (No. 4/No. 4) paces the conference, while Michigan (No. 7/No. 7), Wisconsin (No. 9/No. 8) and Ohio State (No. 10/No. 9) round out the league's top 10 teams.

Alabama, once again, tops both polls.
