BTBL Ep 11: Gridiron Grit and Playoff Panic: The Big Ten’s Stormiest Saturday Yet!
Summary:
Chaos ruled in Week 11 as tight finishes, wild turnovers, and dramatic upsets shook up the Big Ten and the playoff picture—while hosts Rob and Eli break down every game, rant about rules, and set the stage for colossal showdowns ahead with fresh rankings and spicy predictions.
Key Points:
- Playoff Rankings & Chaos: The second week of College Football Playoff rankings arrives with Ohio State and Indiana still at the top, but upsets and surprising results threaten to shake up seeding for the home stretch.
- USC’s Friday Night Win: USC beats Northwestern 38-17 with explosive performances (Makai Lemon: 161 yards, 2 TDs) and a bizarre illegal punt number-swap story. Defensive heroics and a controversial end zone fumble turn the game’s momentum.
- Indiana Survives at Penn State: The Hoosiers’ perfect season barely survives as Omar Cooper Jr. hauls in a toe-tap TD for a dramatic road win, overcoming a tough Penn State team and keeping playoff dreams alive
- Oregon Escapes Iowa: Ducks grind out a win with a last-second field goal in a rain-soaked, defensive slugfest, keeping their playoff hopes alive and handing Iowa a rare home defeat.
- Wisconsin Upsets Washington: Washington’s newly acquired ranking vanishes on the road as Wisconsin’s punter matches the quarterback’s passing yards, ending the Huskies’ credibility with the playoff committee.
- Rutgers Rolls Maryland: Antoine Raymond’s career night leads Rutgers to bowl eligibility, while Maryland’s coaching drama heats up as their season threatens to unravel.
- Nebraska Tops UCLA: Freshman QB TJ Latif’s efficient debut and Emmett Johnson’s monster game help Nebraska withstand a late UCLA comeback in the Rose Bowl, now the subject of a bizarre stadium lawsuit.
- Ohio State Dominates Purdue: Buckeyes move to 9-0 as their defense suffocates Purdue and offensive stars shine, setting up a favorable matchup with UCLA.
- Week 12 Previews: The hosts analyze point spreads and offer predictions—expect competitive battles, desperate teams hunting for bowl eligibility, and “The Lizard Bowl” between Penn State and Michigan State.
- Rants, Trivia, & Trophy Talk: The Jewett Trophy rivalry for Michigan-Northwestern gets a spotlight, and the crew delivers classic banter on football rules, playoff quirks, and coaching hot seats.
