The second edition of the College Football Playoff Rankings dropped, and the Big Ten holds four of the top five spots.

Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Podcast Network’s I-80 Football Show. On this show, we travel down I-80 to talk all things Big Ten Football.

After every week of action, we will catch you up on all the conference’s games and look ahead at the matchups, storylines, and players you should be paying attention to for the next week.

My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host Dante Morgan.



Once again there is little news in the Big Ten, as there aren’t many coaches who are on the chopping block and the coordinator firings will largely wait until the season ends.

There is news at USC, as Lincoln Riley benched Miller Moss after a streak of bad games, and the Trojans are on flip watch as their 2025 quarterback commit may have eyes for Colorado. In other news, Nebraska’s head coach demoted his offensive coordinator and promoted Dana Holgerson, an analyst who has been with the program for a little over a week.

Week 11 started with a bang as UCLA won its third straight game, upsetting Iowa on Friday night. After starting 1-5, UCLA is on a three-game winning streak. With Washington, USC and Fresno State on the schedule, the Bruins could find their way to bowl eligibility.

Ohio State rounds into form as it prepares for a top-five showdown against Indiana in two weeks. Indiana just played Michigan and had its worst game of the season, getting dominated in the trenches. Jordan and Dante break down the game to determine if this was just a bad game, which every contender has had this season, or if there are real concerns to take away from this game.

On Tuesday the College Football Playoff committee dropped their newest top 25 ranking, and the Big Ten was well represented with four teams in the top five. Oregon and Ohio State came in at No. 1 and No. 2 respectively, while Penn State was ranked No. 4 and Indiana No. 5. This means the Big Ten will have at least two more top-five showdowns barring an upset.

Ohio State and Indiana will be a top-five matchup, and the winner will most likely play Oregon in another top-five matchup in the Big Ten championship game. With four teams in the top five, it’s all but guaranteed that all five teams will make the 12-team playoffs, and Jordan thinks the Big Ten is in a good position to win a national championship.

In their weekly MapQuest segment, the guys are surprised by the lack of depth of games as there are no two important games that start at the same time. If you have nothing else to watch, you can check out Ohio State-Northwestern at noon. Midday the guys recommended USC-Nebraska, with Oregon-Wisconsin in prime time. The best game of the weekend may be on Friday, with UCLA and Washington fighting for bowl eligibility.

In their weekly pitstops, the guys discuss Ohio State fans being upset about Big Noon Kickoff, and why hospitals should be able to veto parents when they give their kids bad names.



If you like the show, please share it with friends and family and leave a five-star review. If you want to keep up with the show you can subscribe to the Land-Grant Podcast Network Feed where new episodes drop every Thursday.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NOV 12 Women’s - Charlotte at Ohio State

Jaloni Cambridge takes a knock and sits the second half in the Buckeyes’ second win of the season.

Ohio State women’s basketball announced the addition of program legends Katie Smith and Jacy Sheldon to the coaching staff on Monday. On Tuesday, it was guard Chance Gray taking the spotlight, leading the No. 12 Buckeyes with 31 points, and a program record-tying nine three-pointers, in a 94-53 win over the UNC Charlotte 49ers.

After a slow start in her debut, junior shooting guard Chance Gray established herself early. Ohio State struggled to find shots from the jump, but Gray was effective from deep, hitting three shots from beyond the arc, already eclipsing her eight points last week against Cleveland State.

It seemed to calm Gray’s Buckeye teammates, who ended the quarter on a 14-0 run to go ahead 25-6 after 10 minutes. During that stretch, the 49ers missed nine shots, and wouldn’t score again from the field until the 7:27 mark of the second quarter, over 10 game minutes between run of play baskets.

Charlotte looked like a mid-major team adjusting to a new coach and system. That, and the Buckeyes’ defense held the 49ers to 17 first half points, with six coming from the free throw line.

Freshman point guard Jaloni Cambridge, who started her NCAA career with a 31-point game against the CSU Vikings, had eight points at the end of the first half. Gray led all scorers with 11 points.

On the first offensive drive in the second half, the Buckeyes had a scare when Cambridge went up for a layup. On a fast break off a Charlotte turnover, the freshman went to the basket and was met by Keanna Rembert, who jumped to stop the guard. Cambridge collided with the 6-foot-2 forward, sending the 5-foot-7 Cambridge to the court hard.

Cambridge walked off the court on her own, but bent over and holding around her lower back. The freshman returned to the game before the end of the third quarter.

Charlotte continued being the aggressors, this time offensively. The 49ers went on a 12-2 run before a pair of turnovers slowed down the visitors. On the first, McMahon sent a no-look behind the back pass to Taylor Thierry, raising the volume on what became a somber crowd following the injury.

Gray picked up the scoring slack again, scoring 14 of Ohio State’s 26 points in the third quarter, hitting four from beyond the arc. Gray had a new career single-game scoring high with 31 points, eclipsing her previous record of 22 points as an Oregon Duck.

Cambridge never returned to the game, but the Buckeyes’ defense did. Despite allowing 26 points to Charlotte in the third quarter, Ohio State held Charlotte to 35.2% shooting from the floor overall.

What’s Next


The Buckeyes continue their run of non-Power Five schools when they travel to Nashville, Tennessee to face the Belmont Bruins. Even though Kilyn McGuff transferred to Butler, there’s still a family element to the Sunday 3:00 p.m. ET matchup, with the Cambridge sisters playing in front of their home crowd.

Last season, Ohio State welcomed the Bruins to Columbus , coming away with a 84-55 victory.
