Oregon re-enters ESPN power rankings at No. 19 as Ohio State drops to No. 24

Oregon made the biggest Big Ten move in ESPN's Week 10 power rankings. The Ducks re-entered at No. 19 after a 41-28 win at Ohio State, and the Buckeyes fell nine spots to No. 24. Unbeaten UCLA stayed at No. 3 and remains the conference's highest-ranked team. Indiana held at No. 7 after its open week.

The Ohio State drop is the biggest change. At 6-3, the Buckeyes have three losses for the first time under Ryan Day, and ESPN's Jake Trotter wrote that their playoff hopes are on life support. He said losing quarterback Julian Sayin is only part of the problem. Ohio State's 3.6% sack rate ranks next-to-last among Power 4 defenses, ahead of only Stanford. The offense also went nearly two quarters without targeting Jeremiah Smith. In Columbus, Oregon's defense put together a 38-0 run that included four straight stops on fourth down, and Dylan Raiola played with composure at quarterback. The Ducks looked finished after last month's loss at Illinois. Now they are back in the Big Ten title race.

UCLA keeps adding to its case. Backup Ty Dieffenbach has started since Nico Iamaleava's season-ending injury. At Minnesota he threw only eight passes but gained 303 yards, including 75-yard touchdowns on back-to-back drives to put away a 34-20 win. Indiana's week off came at a useful time. Josh Hoover has not completed more than 54.6% of his passes in a game since Oct. 3. "Josh is on the mend," Curt Cignetti said on his radio show, according to ESPN. Cignetti also praised backup Grant Wilson's play against Minnesota.

USC moved up three spots to No. 15 during its bye and is one of six Big Ten teams at 4-2 in conference play. Iowa rose four places to No. 16 after a 24-10 win at Northwestern. The Hawkeyes have allowed two touchdowns in three weeks and finish against Purdue, Illinois and Nebraska.

What it means for Week 11

The top game is USC at Indiana. The 8-1 Hoosiers have played close games lately. Their last three wins, over Nebraska, Michigan and Minnesota, were all decided by seven points or fewer, and the one loss was a 19-15 defeat to Ohio State. The 7-2 Trojans gave the Buckeyes their second loss, 30-18, before falling 41-28 to Oregon. Indiana is favored by 7.5 points. Novig prices the Hoosiers at -251 and USC at +228, and Pinnacle has the best USC price on the board at +243. Sportsbook hold on the moneyline runs from 4.0% to 5.9%.

UCLA plays first, hosting Illinois on Friday. The Bruins are 10.5-point favorites at Novig, where they are -355 to win outright. FanDuel has them at 9.5 points, priced at -122. The total is 46.5 at Novig.

Ohio State plays Northwestern at home, favored by 10.5 and priced at -400 at Novig. The Wildcats are +355 there and +360 at Fanatics, the best price available. Oregon is also a 10.5-point favorite against Michigan and is -413 at Novig. Michigan's best price is +380 at BetRivers. That game has the lowest total of the week's Big Ten games at 40.5. Iowa is the biggest favorite of the group, giving Purdue 17.5 points, and Novig has the Hawkeyes at -852.

Twelve venues post prices on each of these games. Across them, the sportsbook hold ranges from about 3.3% to 7.0%, so the extra cost built into a price depends on where you look.
