The second half of the college football regular season begins this week, and we can only hope that it clears the bar set by the first half. We've had seven matchups between AP top-15 teams, and four of them were awesome games decided by a combined 14 points. Meanwhile, we've also had 10 unranked teams upsetting top-15 teams, including three top-5s. When the biggest games are great, and there are unexpected plot twists at every turn, you know you've got one hell of a season on your hands.
Between the Oregon-Ohio State headliner, a Penn State-USC overtime thriller and the unexpected chaos of Illinois-Purdue, the Big Ten took center stage last Saturday.
