Ohio State and Penn State advance to the Playoff Semi-finals, while Oregon finishes with a bad taste in it's mouth. However, there is no denying how great this post-season has been for the Big Ten, including a program-defining win for Illinois, a perception changing win for Michigan, and PJ Fleck showcases how he's elevated Minnesota in their easy dispatching of Virginia Tech.

It was a great weekend for the Big Ten as three teams still remain in the 8-team field. I react to each playoff game, and then take on the "face of college football" for some of his bizarre comments during Gameday and the UT-OSU game.

Four Big Ten teams make the CFP top 25, but even though others could have been ranked, the conference should be happy with how their four teams fared in the first CFP rankings, where they should have no less than three teams, and probably four, in the inaugural tournament come December.

Happy Halloween! Since it is our favorite October Holiday, I thought we'd run through some of the Big Ten Roster to see which teams are scared of what, and how scared they are from 1-10. And... we all should be terribly frightened by the abomination that is Big Ten Officiating! Like, Follow, and Subscribe!

In this edition of the Big Ten Football Talk Podcast, we discuss the smoke surrounding Ryan Walters and why he might be gone sooner rather than later, why it seems like Ryan Day has the defense trending in the right direction for Ohio State, and why Indiana needs to extend Cignetti's contract ASAP! Plus, Wisconsin's sneaky path to the playoff, and how we should be viewing the disappointing coaching jobs of Rutgers' Greg Schiano and USC's Lincoln Riley.

So... the title is a little misleading. Do I think the Big Ten is that much better than the SEC? No. Do I think that the SEC deserves to get dragged after their hilariously awful weekend? YES! And since ESPN and so many others want to praise Vanderbilt for being the 14th best SEC team that can take out the other "SEC Elites," I feel the need to do everyone the service of pointing out just how ridiculously awful this weekend was for the SEC, and how it is glorious. Plus... I give some actual thou...

Interviewing Branden, aka BlackieChan, from Light the Torch Podcast, one thing became very clear: There is a lot of optimism surrounding the Trojans, especially with the dismissal of Alex Grinch and hire of D'Anton Lynn at Defensive Coordinator. This move alone sets a very different tone in the program, which hopes to surprise the rest of the Big Ten and Remind everyone that USC is a Blue Blood for a reason, and that they expect to play at that level immediately.
