Today's Big Ten football links look at how Saturday's games cleared the path for two teams from the conference to make the College Football Playoff, a big blow at the quarterback position for a former favorite and more.
CBS Sports' Jerry Palm didn't have any Big Ten teams in his Playoff projection two weeks ago. Sunday morning, half of the field came from the conference. Palm has Ohio State and Penn State in the field as the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds, respectively. Alabama and Clemson, which have met in the past two national championship games, lead the way.
