The second College Football Playoff Poll of 2017 dropped Tuesday evening, and it featured two additional Big Ten teams alongside last week's total of four. However, Ohio State and Penn State–the two Big Ten leaders in the debut poll at No. 6 and No. 7, respectively–saw serious slides following Week 10 losses.
Undefeated Wisconsin paced all Big Ten teams at No. 8, while No. 25 Northwestern and No. 20 Iowa made their 2017 CFP poll debuts. Michigan State made the biggest jump in the history of the CFP poll, soaring 12 spots from the previous week.
- No. 8 Wisconsin
- No. 12 Michigan State
- No. 13 Ohio State
- No. 14 Penn State
- No. 20 Iowa
- No. 25 Northwestern
