Expanded Big Ten could put 4 teams in the playoff; thanks to Indiana's unexpected rise
The 18-team conference had three of the top-four teams in the AP poll last week — No. 1 Oregon, No. 2 Ohio State and No. 4 Penn State. A one-loss Indiana team is ranked 10th but is still very much a contender to make the playoff, given how many Southeastern Conference teams have three defeats or more.
