Sunday Debriefing: Will the real Big Ten please stand up
Wisconsin shocked at home by BYU, and Nebraska losing to Troy sent the Big Ten West into another week of tailspin.
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/61418405/usa_today_11259261.0.jpg)
In the year 2000, the rapper Eminem asked for the real Slim Shady to please stand up.
In Week 3 of the 2018 college football season, I’m asking will the real Big Ten—the one that had multiple teams in the preseason rankings listed as College Football Playoff contenders—to please, please stand up. It’s now or never.
Once again, the Big Ten— other than Ohio State— made a fool of itself on the national stage. The No. 6 Wisconsin Badgers, seen as the Big Ten West’s savior, stumbled at home to unranked BYU. Even though the defeat was only by three points (24-21), the loss packs a one-two punch. Not only do the Badgers’ playoff hopes now hang off the side of the proverbial cliff, but this recent high-profile loss gives off the mental image of the Big Ten slipping on a banana peel— and into the air— before crashing back down to the ground as a laugh track plays.
This reoccuring image has now happened every week of the young season.
Penn State nearly lost in to Appalachian State in Week 1, then Michigan State was the one to fall last week; now it was Wisconsin. However, one team took the cake and fell both weeks. That’s right, we’re talking about the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
The Scott Frost era is off to about as bad of a start as you could image. First, their season opener against Akron got delayed, then cancelled. Last week, they lost to Colorado, 33-28, in thrilling fashion. Then this week against Troy, they found another way to lose in thrilling fashion. One cancelled game and two losses— and it’s only the middle of September.
It appears that Iowa may be the survivor of the Big Ten’s West wild ride, but who knows? Purdue, who is now 0-3, can very well win the division; as could Northwestern, who defeated Purdue already this season before getting steamrolled by two touchdowns by Duke last week, and then lost by five to Akron.

Lost to five G5 teams. That's a pretty spectacular level of fail. You just don't luck into that. You have to go out and work for it.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Ohio State is the Big Ten's best CFP hope after Week 3
In the end, as many had expected, it didn't matter that Ohio State coach Urban Meyer was suspended for the first three games -- at least as far as the Buckeyes' win-loss record is concerned. With its 40-28 win against No. 15 TCU in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday night, Ohio State showed its resiliency and resolve against its first really challenging opponent, and made a statement that it's to be taken seriously in the College Football Playoff race.
The rest of the Big Ten ... not so much.
Michigan lost to Notre Dame in Week 1 and on Saturday had 13 penalties for 137 yards in a win against SMU. Penn State needed overtime to beat Appalachian State in its opener, but is still 3-0 and looking amazing! -- against nobody. Michigan State blew a 10-point, fourth-quarter lead last week and lost at Arizona State. Nebraska lost at home to Troy. Maryland lost at home to Temple. Northwestern lost at home to Akron. Rutgers lost at Kansas. Oh, and Wisconsin lost at home on Saturday to BYU (yes, the same team that lost to Cal) in what was the biggest upset of the season so far.
In spite of everything that has gone embarrassingly wrong for the Big Ten, though, it still has a true playoff contender and one of the best-looking teams in the country in Ohio State -- and the Buckeyes did it with acting head coach Ryan Day -- not Meyer. At 3-0, Ohio State is the only team in the Big Ten with three things that will continue to impress the 13-member selection committee: a neutral-site win over a ranked opponent, convincing wins and an A on the so-called eye test.
.
.
.
Last year, though, the Buckeyes lost their marquee nonconference game, against Oklahoma.
This year?
Ohio State's win over TCU is one of the most impressive nonconference wins of the season, along with Clemson's true road win at Texas A&M. The selection committee will take note of the Buckeyes' two defensive touchdowns, especially considering the loss of Bosa to injury. It's a better nonconference win than Georgia or Alabama have.

The winner of the Whiteout game in two weeks will likely be the only B1G team with genuine chance to make the playoffs...

I hate them so much. If only Arlington were equal distance from the TCU campus and Ohio State campus. Although the 70% Buckeye crowd was nice to see again.
