College football in the North got wild Saturday afternoon, as Penn State survived by a point on the road at Minnesota, BYU got field stormed twice in a loss at Arizona State, and Illinois and Rutgers traded final-minute TDs before the Illini prevailed on a fourth-down game-winner. But the day started in the North with No. 2 Ohio State smothering No. 5 Indiana in Ohio Stadium, beating the Hoosiers 38-15. But the playoff picture for Indiana remained pretty clear, thanks to an SEC upset as Ole Miss fell at Florida. Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis cover all of that on this Kings of the North postgame show, plus Notre Dame-Army, Iowa State-Utah, Kansas State-Cincinnati and more. Thanks for joining Kings of the North.

And they're back to bet another $600 in real money (including a $25 bet that had Doug begging for forgiveness from TShoe) as they continue to try to make money to donate to Feeding America.
