Some B1G coaches in here.

"Nobody’s Happy: Lovie Smith (23) at Illinois. Record: 5-10, 2-1 this year. Smith has two wins against Power Five competition, and one of those is 2016 Rutgers so it barely counts. After a 2-0 start this year, the Illini were pummeled at South Florida 47-23 – not many expected a victory in Tampa, but competitiveness didn’t seem like too much to ask. The Big Ten schedule awaits, and while it helps to be in the West Division, Illinois might only be favored in one remaining game – against old reliable Rutgers."

"Misery, Cont.: Chris Ash (24) at Rutgers. Record: 3-13, 1-3 this year. Ash has one win against an FBS opponent and is 0-12 against Power Five competition. The Scarlet Knights stirred some hope by playing competitively against Washington and Nebraska, but losing to Eastern Michigan was a grim reminder of how far behind the program is after the disastrous end of the Kyle Flood Era. If Rutgers wins again this year, it probably will be considered a surprise. This is a long-haul project."

"Could Be King Someday: D.J. Durkin (29) at Maryland. Record: 8-8, 2-1 this year. Maryland got its most exciting win in years to open this season, beating Texas on the road despite a season-ending injury to its starting quarterback. Central Florida supplied a reality check Saturday with a decisive victory in College Park, but recruiting is going very well and the fan base isn’t exactly demanding a Big Ten East title anytime soon. If Durkin stays and produces, they’ll love him."
