The Big Ten enjoyed a successful opening week, with 10 wins in 12 nonconference games, losing only by respectable margins to returning Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson of Louisville and 2016 College Football Playoff participant Washington.
The stakes rise a bit in Week 2, headlined, of course, by a visit from Oklahoma to face Ohio State on Saturday night (7:30 ET, ABC) and rivalries are rekindled in Pennsylvania and Iowa.
