Big Ten Quarterback Woes
The conference sits in an unusual spot with multiple unbeaten teams in league play managing long-term injuries at quarterback. Ohio State turns to a young backup after losing its starter to an arm issue, while the run game ranks 98th in yards per carry. Oregon and Indiana face tests that could clarify whether Northwestern and Minnesota belong among contenders after the Ducks lost their starter and the Hoosiers saw limited production from their passer.
SEC Tests Before Big Matchups
Georgia and Ole Miss must steer clear of trouble ahead of a loaded slate next week. The Bulldogs have fumbled six times across two games yet rank second nationally in big plays. Florida looks to force more miscues and reach the mid-20s in points. Ole Miss plays at home without its injured starting running back but faces an Auburn defense allowing opportunities through the air.
Big 12 Contenders in Action
The Wildcats control much of their playoff path with upcoming games against Texas Tech and Utah. The Red Raiders must rebound from a poor showing in their prior outing, where their offense ranked 57th in points per drive and went three-and-out 28 percent of the time.
