Two months into the 2025 college football season, who is the current favorite in the Big Ten? Our roundtable writers discussed:

The Big 12 had two teams in the top 10 for the first time in two years and Notre Dame was back in the top 10 after a two-month absence.

A stunning collapse of the James Franklin era at Penn State has left Ohio State a three-touchdown favorite. The Nittany Lions opened the season ranked No. 2 in the AP poll but have dropped four straight and will be playing their second game under interim coach Terry Smith following Franklin's firing.

Indiana (9-0, 6-0), a 55-10 winner over Maryland on the road on Saturday, own impressive victories over Illinois (63-10), Iowa (20-15) and Oregon (30-20). The Hoosiers, coached by Curt Cignetti, piled up 588 yards of total offense vs. the Terrapins in College Park, Md.

Indiana Hoosiers football coach Curt Cignetti probably won't see his team ranked No. 1 in the CFP rankings' first release this coming Tuesday.

The Penn State-Indiana series has been quite one-sided in Big Ten play. The Nittany Lions are 25-2 against the Hoosiers since 1993 and 13-0 at Beaver Stadium. Indiana has beaten the Nittany Lions only twice: in 2013 (44-24) and in the memorable overtime game to start the 2020 COVID season.
