Michigan's Cameron Bock and Stanford's Riley Loos traded turns atop the 2021 Winter Cup standings most of the way, but Bock came away with the title after his strong performance in the last rotation (SR).

Michigan (413.30) posted the season's fourth highest team score in their resounding defeat of Illinois (405.55) and host Nebraska (401.60).

They've been the picture of consistency in the opening three weeks -- Week 1 (414.45), Week 2 (413.75), Week 3 (413.40). The Sooners had no trouble winning their virtual tilt over Army (375.10).
