Big Ten dominance takes center stage as Indiana Hoosiers football claims the #2 spot in the first College Football Playoff rankings, sparking fierce debate about whether they deserve to rank ahead of Ohio State. Zach Seyko and Jacob Goins break down the historic Big Ten representation with three teams in the top nine, dissect the persistent SEC bias in rankings, and analyze how Indiana's convincing victories over Iowa and Oregon stack up against the Buckeyes' resume.

The conversation shifts to Penn State's explosive coaching search, with Brian Hartline, Brent Key, Jeff Brohm, and Mike Elko emerging as top candidates to replace James Franklin. The hosts examine how massive coaching buyouts might finally force programs to restructure contracts, discuss flight tracker evidence of interviews, and reveal why Penn State could have an "unfiltered war chest" if Franklin takes another job. Week 11 predictions include the crucial Penn State-Indiana matchup, with both hosts favoring the Hoosiers by two touchdowns.

Tune in for insider analysis on college football's coaching carousel and playoff implications that could reshape the Big Ten landscape.
