College football rankings: Big Ten teams in updated Coaches Poll, AP Top 25 after Week 8

Week 8 of the 2024 college football season was another fruitful one for the Big Ten conference.

No. 2 Oregon kicked off the week with a dominant victory over Purdue on the road, picking up its first road shutout victory since 1992. Elsewhere, Indiana football continued its magical start to the 2024 season with a 56-7 win on the road against Nebraska to move to 7-0.

In the only ranked-vs.-ranked Big Ten matchup, No. 21 Illinois continued to prove it is a legitimate contender this season with a 21-7 win over No. 22 Michigan at home. Ohio State, which fell to the Ducks last week, enjoyed a bye week and should remain highly ranked.
