Indiana football didn’t let UCLA feel like it had a chance on Oct. 25, as the No. 2 Hoosiers moved to 8-0 on the season.

Indiana demolished UCLA 56-6 in Week 9, defeating the much-improved Bruins handily. Other matchups across the conference included Nebraska’s 28-21 win over Northwestern and Iowa’s 41-3 dominant win over Minnesota.

Elsewhere in Big Ten play, Washington upended No. 23 Illinois 42-25 in Seattle, improving the Huskies to 6-2 on the season and 3-2 in conference play. Sticking in the Pacific Northwest, No. 6 Oregon — playing much of the second half without quarterback Dante Moore — ground out a 21-7 win over visiting Wisconsin.

Then of course there was the battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy between No. 24 Michigan (6-2, 4-1) and unranked Michigan State. Justice Haynes ran for 152 yards and two scores in a 31-20 Wolverines win over the Spartans.

Here’s where Big Ten teams were ranked in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 poll after Week 9 of the college football season.
