## Resource

Big Ten contenders fuel championship buzz as Indiana, Ohio State, Oregon, and Washington jockey for playoff supremacy. Will Josh Hoover elevate Indiana’s defense into NCAA history, or can powerhouse rosters like Oregon and USC crash the party? Heated debates ignite around Penn State’s playoff chances, Washington’s leap to 10 wins, and the pivotal Indiana–Ohio State clash in Bloomington. Host Spencer McLaughlin and the Locked On Big Ten crew break down bold predictions, playoff math, and the season’s must-watch games—including USC vs. Oregon and Indiana’s high-stakes trip to Husky Stadium. Key topics include the potential for four Big Ten teams in the College Football Playoff, the rise of non-quarterback Heisman contenders, and which program could surprise or disappoint. How will coaching changes and stacked schedules redefine the Big Ten landscape in 2026?
