After a lackluster Week 1, Week 2 gave us several marquee games between Big Ten schools and other power four conference teams, and the B1G generally failed miserably going just 2-6. Lots of movement on this list with the Buckeyes choke job, the Gophers no show, and whatever the hell that was from Oregon leading the way. Week 3 looks to be another week of blowouts with the exception of Virginia Tech and Maryland the spread for every single game is at least 14 points. So if it’s a nice Saturday, maybe its time to do that yardwork you have been putting off before the full inter-conference schedule kicks off in full. #1 Indiana Hoosiers 2-0 (2)Win 55-0 vs HowardThe Curt Cignetti plan stolen from Glen Mason of playing three absolute sleds in the non-conference isn’t looking so bad right about now. You know its bad when Indiana calls off the dogs in the second half, but after taking a 41-0 halftime lead even Cignetti didn’t run up the score further in the second half. They close out their joke of a non-con hosting Western Kentucky as 44.5 point favorites on Saturday afternoon. #2 USC Trojans 3-0 (3)Win 49-30 vs LouisianaUSC’s offense looks incredibly potent as they did not need to work hard to put 49 points up on Louisiana. Just a casual five TD game from Jayden Maiava. The defense though definitely still has questions. Giving up nearly 400 yards and 30 points at home to Louisiana? They are going to need to find a way to tighten that up before playing better Big Ten teams. Luckily for them that does not happen this week as they open conference play at Rutgers. It’s a long cross-country flight and we have seen that disrupt teams, but I don’t think the Trojans should have much trouble with this Rutgers team. Vegas doesn’t either favoring USC by 23.5. #3 Ohio State Buckeyes 1-1 (1)Loss 24-23 @ TexasWell, it looked like Ohio State was going to pick up a big win to prove they were the undisputed top team in the nation. And then the fourth quarter happened. Texas outscored the Buckeyes 21-0 in the fourth quarter capping an epic choke job including a missed field goal from their transfer kicker from Baylor which likely would have pushed them on top. Ohio State is still a very good team, but it will be interesting to see what their mental state looks like coming out of that game. Kent State is probably going to feel the hurt this Saturday in the Shoe as 52.5 point underdogs. #4 Penn State Nittany Lions 2-0 (5)Win 27-9 @ TemplePenn State didn’t blow the socks off of Temple last week scuffling to just a 10-3 halftime lead before slowing pulling away in the second half. Rocco Becht was good going 21-27 for 268 yards and thr
