MADISON - Wisconsin won its second consecutive Big Ten championship with a thrilling 42-39 win over Michigan State during the inaugural Big Ten championship game. In doing so UW clinched a spot in the 2012 Rose Bowl. It's time for our popular weekly feature: The Hot 11.

The 12th installment of the 2011 regular season is based on momentum and individual play this season. One bad game won't necessarily move a player off, but it could cause a player to slide down the board as new players start to emerge.

Honorable mention: Brad Nortman - - You can't sell a running into the kicker penalty much better than Nortman did.
