Penn State football just fired James Franklin mid-season after a shocking home loss to Northwestern, while Indiana football climbed to #3 in the AP Poll following their stunning upset victory at Oregon. The Big Ten Conference landscape shifted dramatically this weekend with multiple coaching changes and playoff implications on the line.
We break down Penn State's collapse that led to Franklin's dismissal despite his $49 million buyout, plus quarterback Drew Allar's season-ending injury that compounds their problems. Indiana's 30-20 victory over Oregon showcased why the Hoosiers are legitimate national championship contenders, with Fernando Mendoza leading a clutch fourth-quarter comeback drive. Ohio State maintained their #1 ranking with a 34-16 win over Illinois, while UCLA continued their surprising surge with a dominant 38-13 victory at Michigan State.
USC demolished Michigan 31-13 behind freshman walk-on King Miller's breakout performance, and Washington's Demond Williams Jr. made history with over 500 yards of total offense against Rutgers. We also cover Iowa's shutout win over Wisconsin, Nebraska's thrilling victory over Maryland, and the coaching hot seat situations developing across the conference.
Watch now to get our complete rapid-fire analysis of every major Big Ten storyline and what these results mean for the College Football Playoff race.
