## Resource

Big Ten football Week 1 delivered chaos, surprises, and standout performances as Ohio State crushed expectations, Indiana proved they’re still elite, and USC cruised to a 2-0 start. Iowa and Penn State dominated with shutouts, while Nebraska, Minnesota, Maryland, UCLA, and Washington all secured wins — though some were closer than expected. Michigan State and Purdue got wins but need work, Wisconsin stumbled against a top team, and Michigan stirred controversy again — even in victory. The real shocker? Rutgers lost to UMass, raising serious questions about conference competitiveness. With big matchups looming, the Big Ten’s playoff picture is already heating up — and it’s far from settled.
