USC may be ready to part ways with Lincoln Riley after another missed playoff run, but is Kalen DeBoer poised to become their top target? The coaching carousel heats up as potential SEC landing spots for Riley emerge and rumors swirl about massive buyouts and game-changing hires. Oregon’s smooth Big Ten transition, Indiana’s pursuit of its greatest season, and Lane Kiffin’s possible moves add intrigue to a volatile coaching landscape.

Zach Seyko and Jacob Goins break down Big Ten rivalry weekend, including Ohio State vs. Michigan’s playoff implications, Indiana’s dominant quest for a Big Ten championship berth, and Penn State’s internal head-coach debate between Terry Smith and Bob Chesney. Key topics include fan and player reactions, high-stakes predictions, and how program-defining hires could reshape college football’s future. Will Indiana cap an undefeated season, or will Purdue play spoiler in a heated rivalry clash?
