Indiana Crushes Washington 31-17

The surprising Hoosiers moved to 8-0 on the season after cruising past the Huskies. Indiana is 8-0 for the first time since they won the Big 10 and played in the Rose Bowl in 1967. The Big 10 also dominates the top of this weeks Billingsley Report with Oregon at #1, Penn State at #2 and Ohio State at #5. A showdown looms this Saturday as the Buckeyes travel to Happy Valley in a much anticipated conference clash.  Things are tight in the conference races. The ACC has Miami (Fla.) and Pittsburgh still undefeated with Clemson and SMU nipping on their heels with one loss, both to non conference opponents. Clemson lost to Georgia and SMU lost to BYU. In the Big 12 the Cougars remain unbeaten with a convincing 37-24 road win over Central Florida. Iowa State remains undefeated after being idle this week and Kansas State kicked a late field goal to nip arch rival Kansas 29-27. Colorado continues to look better each passing week, downing Cincinnati 34-23. Boise State took control of the MWC with a 29-24 win at UNLV. Vanderbilt is for real folks. They took Texas to the wire. The Longhorns escaped Nashville with a hard fought 27-24 win. But it's the Aggies from Texas A&M who top the mighty SEC right now after a strong 2nd half performance propelled them to a 38-23 win over LSU. November will certainly be a month to remember in 2024. Lots of huge games yet to play and with the new 12 playoff, two or maybe 3 losses may still be good enough to get in.   

Indiana Shocks Oregon 30-20

This is clearly not your Grandfather's Hoosiers. No one just walks into Autzen Stadium and comes away with a surprising 10 point win. This looks more like the 1945 Indiana team that finished #2 in the Nation. Looks like we are being introduced to a new style of Indiana football. Get ready for some fun Big Ten.  Around the Nation: Miami (Fla.) took the week off and Georgia Tech beat Virginia Tech 35-20 bumping the Yellowjackets up to #20 in this weeks report with an impressive 6-0 record. How far can Penn State fall? this week they were stunned by a 22-21 loss to Northwestern. Texas Tech is looking more and more like the leader in the Big 12 after a 42-17 thrashing of a good Kansas team, moving the Red Raiders to 6-0 along side BYU who squeaked by at Arizona 33-27. UNLV remains unbeaten after a real scare from Air Force51-48. What in the world happened to Ole Miss? Maybe they had too many hottie toddies in the Grove. the Rebels were 28 point favorites and escaped Washington State with a 24-21 win. The SEC has a long way to go to figure out this mess. Ole Miss and Texas A&M are still undefeated while LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Vanderbilt and Tennessee still have just one loss. Sooner fans are really questioning head coach Brent Venables after a very disappointing 23-6 loss to Texas. The entire Sooner team looked uninspired in the second half.  Projections will be posted Tuesday. Enjoy your week!
