Big Ten Week 7 SHOCKER: Franklin Fired! Panic Meters for EVERY Team

Buckle up for the ultimate Week 7 Big Ten recap on The Big Ten Huddle, presented by FanDuel and part of the Bleav network!

They assign panic meters (1-5) to EVERY Big Ten team—winners like Iowa dominating rivals, sneaky-good Northwestern at 4-2, and clutch comebacks from Minnesota—while calling out the losers spiraling into full meltdown mode. Is Washington finally getting the ranking justice they deserve? (Spoiler: Yes, and Nick Saban's to blame.)
