Stewart and Bruce dish out their takes on the opening weekend of Big Ten action, starting with the dramatic conclusion to Indiana-Penn State (2:00). Why are fanbases other than Penn State trying to label James Franklin as 'overrated', and where do the Nittany Lions fall in the conference pecking order (8:00)? Who's the second best team in the 'Ten behind Ohio State (11:30), plus who would the guys bet on to win the Big Ten aside from OSU? The guys cruise through Rutgers' first conference victory since 2017, Wisconsin and Graham Mertz as well as Maryland's lopsided loss (15:00). Will Saturday's be different now with Jaylen Waddle expected to miss the remainder of the season (27:00)? Is it time to hop back on the LSU bandwagon, and just how impressive was TJ Finley in the Tigers' win (30:30)? Stew and Bruce brandish their digital letter openers and answer some mailbag questions, featuring Cincinnati, James Franklin and Tim Brando (33:00)!

The Athletic's Stewart Mandel & Bruce Feldman focus on the opening weekend of Big Ten football with BTN's Dave Revsine. The guys cover the dominance of Ohio State and if anything can stop the Buckeyes in 2020. They question whether Michigan has any chance to contend for the title heading into the Wolverine's huge opener with a very talented Minnesota team. Dave, Stew and Bruce go on to talk about who could surprise and who could disappoint. Finally, Dave revisits his interview with Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren on the day the conference decided to postpone the season.

The Athletic's Stewart Mandel & Bruce Feldman react to the college football weekend. Does Alabama deserve to be #1 instead of Clemson? Has it become impossible to win a National Championship without a high flying offense that hits huge plays in the passing game? Notre Dame didn't have a pass play over 20 yards vs. Louisville. The Fighting Irish can't contend with Clemson with that type of offense. Is Arkansas, shockingly, one of the top 5 teams in the SEC? Tennessee only scores 7 points at home in a loss vs. Kentucky. North Carolina's 1st game in over 20 years as a top 5 team goes horribly wrong vs. Florida State. Bruce's top 10 includes Coastal Carolina, BYU, Cincinnati & SMU. Plus, mailbag questions!
