Selected 2026 Week 10 Big Ten College Football Previews

The Big Ten has won each of the last three national championships and looks poised to make it four in a row. With the first installment of the CFP rankings, six conference teams are ranked in the Top 25. Two of them are currently slated to make the tournament, with Indiana ranked fourth and UCLA at No. 8. Ohio State (12), Iowa (19), USC (20) and Oregon (23) are all ranked but would be on the outside looking in if the season ended today.
