Week 10 of the 2026 college football season is now in the books! And while USC did not play this week, there were plenty of other Big Ten games on.
So what did we learn from the action? Here are a few takeaways from Week 10 in the Big Ten:
Ohio State has major issues
What we saw from Ohio State in its loss to Oregon on Saturday was truly stunning. Plain and simple, the Buckeyes have not looked that bad in a long time.
Michigan is just sad
Well, maybe not to Ohio State fans. Amidst a disastrous season in Columbus, they can at least rejoice in the face that their rivals up north have scored a total of 12 points in their last two home games.
Don't forget about Iowa
Don't look now, but Iowa is 7-2 with no ranked opponents remaining remaining on its schedule. Could the Hawkeyes be a sleeper playoff team?
New bloods rule the conference
If the regular season
ended today, just two Big Ten teams would make the College Football Playoff: UCLA and Indiana. Imagine explaining that to someone from a few years ago!
No winless teams!
Finally, with Michigan State and Maryland both winning on Saturday, every Big Ten team now has at least one win in conference play. There will be no 0-9 schools this year.
