The top five teams are all undefeated, with Ohio State keeping the top spot among teams with one loss. Coming off the bye week, the Buckeyes are sitting pretty at No. 6.
The big news around the Big Ten was the impressive “white-out” victory of Penn State over Michigan. Just a year after taking a 49-10 loss, James Franklin and team finally got their revenge with an extremely outmatched 42-13 win on Saturday. The Wolverines still boast one of the country’s most dominant defenses, but with Nittany Lion QB Trace McSorley becoming just as productive as Saquon Barkley, Penn State has a few too many offensive weapons to contain.
Elsewhere, Oklahoma was thiiiiis close to losing on the road to Kansas State before getting into the endzone with 10 seconds left on the clock. Oklahoma State also had a narrow victory over Texas, that actually went to overtime and collectively broke the hearts of Longhorn fans everywhere. Notre Dame, on the other hand, absolutely demolished USC 49-14, leaving some to questions whether the Trojans QB Sam Darnold would be better off waiting until 2019 to take his talents to the NFL.
