Big Ten playoff hopes teeter as quarterback questions dominate conference headlines. With Ohio State, UCLA, and Indiana battling adversity — especially at the QB spot — experts debate whether the Big Ten could be limited to just one playoff team this season. Shocking upsets, strength of schedule concerns, and the impact of injuries have fan bases on edge, sparking tough conversations about the league's true contenders.
The discussion explores Ohio State’s playoff path, UCLA’s surprisingly resilient campaign, and whether Wisconsin can keep its hot streak alive. Panelists break down the pivotal Ohio State vs. USC matchup, Iowa-Wisconsin’s defensive slugfest, and Purdue’s surprising rise. Trends in quarterback performances, Big Ten versus SEC selection odds, and what each program needs to secure a playoff berth take center stage. Can the Big Ten avoid being left out in the cold when Selection Sunday arrives?

Ohio State's game at USC is HUGE for so many reasons. First we will see if USC football coach Lincoln Riley can keep his job if he loses this game - or any others the rest of the way. Remember, this season is college football playoff or bust for Lincoln Riley and the Trojans! Secondly, we will get to see if Ryan Day and the Buckeyes can maintain their #2 AP ranking without injured starting quarterback Julian Sayin!
Elsewhere around the Big Ten we have bad injury news for the Iowa Hawkeyes as they prepare to take on red-hot Wisconsin as the Badgers are fresh-off a big win over USC. We dive into the Northwestern game at Oregon and how former Ducks head coach Chip Kelly is the offensive coordinator of the Wildcats. Plus we look for some intel on who the starting quarterback is going to be for Washington as they head into Lincoln to face Nebraska in their Blackout Game on Halloween night! Then we teach you how to get free tuition at the next Maryland Terps football game.
Then finally, we close things out with our weekly Big Ten Classics on Locked on Big Ten!

Also we note how the 2026 Oregon Ducks season mirrors that of the 2025 Penn State football season. Tune in an listen as we compare the two Big Ten football teams.
Also, we explore whether Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover is healthy enough to keep playing. He was hurt in the Ohio State game and performed poorly against Michigan. We tell you exactly what coach Curt Cignetti says about the situation.
