Is the Big Ten Title Race Wide Open After the Julian Sayin News and What Does That Mean for Indiana?

Julian Sayin is out. Ja'Kobi Jackson is out. Ohio State is banged up heading into a brutal stretch. And suddenly the Big Ten title race looks nothing like what anyone expected heading into Week 7. So is the conference wide open? And if it is — what does that actually mean for Indiana? Trent breaks it all down Tuesday morning, including the Tommy Carr factor at Michigan, Indiana’s rushing success numbers that should concern every Hoosier fan, and what the rest of the conference needs to do to take advantage of Ohio State’s injury situation. Plus — the five games Trent is most fired up about this weekend, including his upset pick of the week, and the game he thinks could quietly define the college football playoff picture before November even arrives. The Hate Watch Power Rankings are back. The SEC is threatening to take the top spot again. Ohio State fans after a win have entered the rankings. And the ACC officials from the Florida State game are getting a mention whether they like it or not. And Trent goes through the week that is coming — a jam-packed Michigan week schedule for Kirkwood and Dunn including a bar owner interview, a College Football 27 stream, the Friday night pregame party at the West Side Bar in Ann Arbor with Galen Clavio and College Football with Sam, and a Saturday postgame show.
