Kansas has shaken off a 1-5 start and is now playing like the top 25 team many expected it to be in the preseason. A 42-14 win over Houston has aged well. There is no shame in losing 29-27 at Kansas State. And nobody has beaten Iowa State worse than KU did last week 45-36.

The college football schedule in Week 12 features multiple matchups involving teams from the Big Ten. Who does our projection model predict will win those games? Below, you can find our projected winners.
