The Big Ten enters its second week while top teams in the SEC, ACC, Big 12 and AAC look to close October with a win.
The Big Ten and Mountain West returned last week, giving college football a fuller schedule and a weekend of drama in the former. Now, before the calendar turns to November, Halloween weekend arrives with a new slate of intriguing clashes. In the Big Ten, Penn State hosts Ohio State in primetime, and the Big 12's lone undefeated team, Oklahoma State, looks to keep it rolling against Texas. In the SEC, Georgia pays a visit to Kentucky looking to bounce back from its Alabama loss, and in the ACC, UNC travels to Virginia to end the night.
