Big Ten picks Week 11: No respect for Michigan State, giant-killer Iowa draws unbeaten Wisconsin

Good news for the Big Ten: For the first time all season, five teams are ranked, as surging Northwestern and Iowa joined the polls.

Bad news for the Big Ten: Only one team (Wisconsin) is in the top 10 and the Badgers could be the next victim of giant-killer Iowa.

The spread: Ohio State by 15.5.

The pick: Ohio State 34, Michigan State 28.

Why? Neither the rankings nor the point spread is a typo. Even Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio raised an eyebrow to his team being such a big underdog after beating Michigan and Penn State.
