Is Michigan football coach Kyle Whittingham TRYING to GET FIRED? College football pundits Josh Pate and Brady Quinn are asserting as much. Since BOTH of them talked about it we thought we would too! There is no doubt the Michigan Wolverines football program has been just short of a disaster. Who would have thought the Sherrone Moore era would be more successful? Moore won 9 games before he was fired. With Oregon, UCLA and Ohio State coming up on Michigan's Big Ten schedule a 5-7 record is not only possible, it is likely.
Meanwhile Curt Cignetti and Indiana are coming off a bye week and starting quarterback Josh Hoover seems to be healthy. The question remains whether Cignetti will start him or backup Grant Wilson vs the USC Trojans in a must win game for both!
Northwestern quarterback Aidan Chiles is out for the Ohio State game and wide receiver KJ Duff is out for the year at Rutgers. We think he is a lock to be an NFL first rounder. Finally we post TV times and networks for every Big Ten football game this weekend as well as Big Ten Classics on the Big Ten Network's schedule!

The SEC Bias promoted by ESPN with the latest college football playoff rankings is more obvious than ever as Indiana DROPPED 5 spots and is in danger of missing the college football playoff and they did NOT even play this past weekend. Big Ten coaches Curt Cignetti, Bret Bielema and Kirk Ferentz have all recently commented on the anti-Big Ten pro-SEC slant in college football. We will go over the latest college football playoff rankings with a fine-tooth comb.
On the flip side, the 9-0 UCLA Bruins did jump into the top 4 and Oregon and Iowa may have some life in the poll. Elsewhere, Michigan coach Kyle Whiitingham announced he is sticking with quarterback Tommy Carr over Bryce Underwood despite the change in offensive coordinator in Ann Arbor. And Ryan Day is sticking with Luke Fahey at quarterback instead of going with former 5-star Tavien St. Clair.
There is good news for Rutgers coach Greg Schiano! The school announced he will remain in place for the 2027 season. And in basketball Tom Izzo's point guard Jeremy Fears Jr. is the best point guard in the country. Michigan State just beat #2 Duke on Tuesday night.
And finally, speaking of polls, we announce a new number one team in our new weekly Big Ten football Power Rankings on Locked on Big Ten!

A report says Ohio State football coach Ryan Day talked to Florida State about their football coaching vacancy. Florida State just hired an athletic director and they are ready to pounce on a big name coach. Plus, Day's seat is getting warm with 3 losses already in a year the Buckeyes were preseason #1, expected to win the Big Ten and a college football playoff national championship - and expectations are falling short! And Day may be getting tired of the "lunatic fringe" who expect the Ohio State Buckeyes to win every game, every year. We won't shy away from giving you our opinion on this.
In other news the College Football Playoff field is EXPANDING to 24 teams. ESPN just landed a $1.7 billion dollar deal to broadcast the CFP for the next 5 years. We think this is a horrible money grab which just ruined the importance of the college football regular season.
Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti says he hasn’t decided whether Josh Hoover or Grant Wilson will be the Hoosiers starting quarterback vs USC as both teams are coming off a bye.
And Michigan football coach Kyle Whittingham said his starting quarterback job is up for grabs again between Tommy Carr and Bryce Underwood since he fired offensive coordinator Jason Beck.
Finally, we have fun with our Tuesday Tweets. Did you sent is one @TalkBig10 ?
