Is the Big Ten a fraud? The first College Football Playoff rankings are out, and Jake and Will do not hold back. Alabama is No. 5 with two losses, undefeated UCLA is No. 8, and Wake Forest sits all the way down at No. 16. The guys go through the full top 25 and debate whether the committee got any of it right.

Then it is on to the Big Ten. Ohio State lost 30-18 at USC with a true freshman at quarterback. Indiana needed a 60-yard field goal to force overtime against Minnesota before winning 23-16. Iowa shut out Wisconsin 30-0. Seven teams now sit at two conference losses, and Will makes a bold call on how the Big Ten will do in the playoff.

Topics discussed:

• The first CFP rankings: Alabama at No. 5, UCLA at No. 8, Wake Forest at No. 16
• Is the No. 2 ranking cursed? Notre Dame, BYU and Ohio State lost in three straight weeks
