On Michigan State football finishing in the top 5 in back to back years: OSU was the last Big Ten team to finish in the top 5 in the AP poll in consecutive seasons, finishing No. 5 after the 2009 and 2010 seasons. It has been much longer for other prominent Big Ten programs -- Michigan last did it in 1947-48, Penn State in 1985-86 and Nebraska in 1993-95. Wisconsin has never finished in the top 5 in consecutive seasons.
