Eleven Eleven

November 11, 2025

Good morning beloved, and thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet. There’s some kind of luck tied in with the double eleven, and I’ve heard many people say that you should make a wish if you happen to look at a clock and see 11:11.

Well, what about November 11^th? Since November 11^th is also 11/11, I decided to see where the Goddess of Luck was, and on the morning of Tuesday, November 11^th at 9 o’clock, Tyche, the Ancient Greek Goddess of Luck, will be sitting on the 9^th degree of Scorpio in the Eleventh House (Out of all houses, right?).

According to Greek Mythology, Tethys and Oceanus had 3,000 daughters that were known as the oceanids. Tyche was an oceanid, and her symbol was the mural crown, the headpiece representing city walls, towers, or fortresses. Her Roman equivalent is Fortuna.

The astrological Eleventh House is a futuristic house. As it sits in natural opposition to the Fifth House of Short-Term Pleasures, the Eleventh would then be the house of long-term pleasures, aspirations, hopes, wishes, and dreams. With Tyche in the Eleventh House at 9:00 A.m. (give or take), I absolutely believe that that would be an excellent time to make a personal wish, pray, or ask the universe for a favor.

Scorpio is a water sign, and when we’re talking about water, we’re talking about intuition. Scorpio is also a sign that holds tremendous passion, creativity, and creative potential in general. In some astrological circles, Scorpio is seen as the Transformer. She’s idealistic and empowering.

Now, when you consider this combination of Tyche expressing herself through the intuition of Scorpio in the Eleventh House, I’d say we’ve hit a homerun, and honestly, this would be the perfect time to go with hunches and gut-feelings.

When you take a water sign and add it to an earth sign, which is what we have here with Scorpio and Taurus, you get mud. Intuition, or the information coming to you from your higher self is what you must pull out of that mud. Those channels of communication must be opened, but it’s difficult to do because we live in a reality where it’s easier to be led astray by the quick fixes and short-term pleasures that appeal to our senses. When it’s time to balance this polarity between earth and water, the temptations of earth usually get us.

You have to be strong now, and I know that most of us will blow off hunches and gut feelings, but this really isn’t a good time to do that.

On the 9^th degree of Scorpio in the Eleventh House, Tyche, the Greek Goddess of Fortune, is sixty degrees away from Part of Fortune (8^th degree Virgo/Ninth House). Sixty degrees of separation creates an aspect or a relationship known as a sextile. The sextile indicates that the asteroid Tyche and Part of Fortune (POF) are in perfect harmony, however, I’ve heard that the manifestation of sextiles in the chart requires absolute peace. When you’re in a peaceful environment and enjoying yourself around people who are happy, positive, and optimistic, then the sextile will activate.

Part of Fortune is not a planet; it’s a point we find by using a formula, but for the purpose of this article, how we arrive at that point isn’t as important as what the Part of Fortune actually represents. It’s our fortune, a point of success, and prosperity.

Right now, this sextile between Tyche and Part of Fortune indicates a fortunate situation. Our long-term plans and personal goals for the future, which includes our aspirations and our deepest wishes, may come to fruition. Plain and simple-our prayers are being answered. This is great news!

Virgo in the Ninth House indicates that any long journey whether it’s healing, spiritual, or any type of educational pursuit or written work, requires organization, research, and patience. Take your time and chose quality over quantity. Be thorough and take a more practical approach. Virgo seeks to know and to understand.

I think now you can begin to see how this connection between Tyche and Part of Fortune could manifest. Virgo is an enterprising sign. Many new businesses and corporations began under the sign of Virgo, but in your life specifically, the future appears to be promising and abundant for any long-term endeavor that you’re giving yourself completely to.

The Ninth House also rules long-distance traveling (internationally). If you’ve been thinking about moving to another country or another part of the world (Ninth House) for a job or just for a better and more prosperous future (Eleventh House), the sextile between Tyche and Part of Fortune favors that.

Good afternoon! Thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet and welcome to the November 8, 2025, Edition of Nooz Now!

🎬 I don’t know if guys are familiar with the actor Steven Seagal, but I’ve been watching his movies since I was in middle school. 😅 If you know who he is, then I’m sure you understand why I’m laughing. He has taken on this legendary status over the years that, in my opinion, has actually surpassed any amount of credit or recognition he could possibly receive as an actor.

Like, who makes one movie per month? He did. Who would rather not use a script and just improvise for the duration of a two-hour movie? He would. 😅 He’s just that guy, and it’s freaking hilarious. I’ve never seen an actor completely dominate a fight scene in a movie. He never gets hit, and he’s never in danger of losing a fight. It’s incredible, and he has these kicks that, with very little speed, mobility, and range of motion, seem to send people flying through the air and through car windows and walls. I just watched, A Dangerous Man. It’s free on YouTube, so if you need a little laughter in your life and you have the time, check it out.

🏈 The NCAA College Football season is now in its eleventh week, and as far as the playoffs are concerned, things are heating up. I’m going to run down the list of the top twelve teams according to the AP Top 25 rankings. Ohio State is number one, and it looks like they’re going to beat Purdue. That game is in the fourth quarter, and the Buckeyes are winning 27-3. Indiana is number two and they just beat Penn State. #4 Alabama plays LSU this evening at 7:30, #5 Georgia beat Mississippi State 41-21, #6 Oregon just started their game against Iowa, #7 Old Miss is crushing The Citadel 42-0 in the fourth quarter, #8 BYU lost to #9 Texas Tech 29-7, #10 Notre Dame plays Navy tonight at 7:30, and #12 Virginia plays Wake Forest tonight at seven.

🌞🌗 Currently, the Sun is on the 16^th degree of Scorpio, and the Moon is on the 4^th degree of Cancer. The last quarter phase of the Moon is set for November 12^th.

📰 According to Spot on News dot com, a Brazilian town named Rio Bonito was just hit by a Tornado with 150 mph winds. Lots of destruction was reported, but I haven’t seen an injury a death total yet.

Former Ohio State Quarterback, Terrell Pryor, seems to be in a lot of trouble after driving erratically and running a red light just outside of Pittsburgh. Pryor’s actions behind the wheel caused a crash with another vehicle. I do believe there’s a civil suit pending.

A new study shows that solar panels are not as good for the environment as people think. In 15 to 20 years when they no longer work, they are going to be trashed and dumped somewhere where they’ll contaminate the ground soil and possibly our water.

Abigail Zwerner, the former Virgina teacher who was shot by a six-year-old student, was just awarded $10,000,000. A civil jury found the assistant principal ignored warning signs that could’ve possibly prevented this heinous act.

Alright, that about wraps up this edition of Nooz Now. Thank you for visiting.

Planet of Prosperity Visits Twelfth House This Evening

November 7, 2025

If you follow astrology, then I know that at some point, somewhere, you probably read that the Twelfth House is the most mysterious house, but I don’t know if I would agree with that. The truth is that all the water houses are mysterious, and I don’t know if you could ever say that one is more mysterious than the other because all three of them are mysterious for different reasons.

The Twelfth House is mysterious because it’s the last house, and it’s ruled by the twelfth and last sign, Pisces. Simplify things. The end of anything is mysterious because no one really knows what’s coming next. There aren’t too many people who can predict the future, and not knowing the future can create feelings of stress, anxiousness, and claustrophobia.

The Piscean waters of the Twelfth House are deep, and we can’t see what’s at the bottom.

What we do know about the Twelfth House is that it’s extremely karmic. It’s in the Twelfth House that we’re rewarded or punished for our behavior and for our decisions. This is about the law of cause and effect.

We also know that secret enemies fall under the rulership of the Twelfth House, and this can manifest as random acts of violence by people we don’t know and have never met before, but even this, however, is believed to be covered under the laws of cause and effect.

The astrological Twelfth House rules prisons, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and most of all, limitations.

Now, despite all of that, the Twelfth House isn’t a bad place, and it’s definitely not as evil as some people think. Unfortunately, when confronted with the unknown and the mysterious, people are more likely to attack.

This evening at 11:30 P.M., Jupiter, the Planet of Expansion, will be on the 25^th degree of Cancer in the Twelfth House.

Cancer is of the water element, she’s feminine, and her quality is cardinal. When we think of Cancer, words like feeling, loyalty, patriotic, protecter, and nurturer come to mind. Ruled by the Moon, Cancer is naturally receptive and emotional, but because of her cardinal quality, the energy of Cancer can be powerfully progressive.

With Jupiter in Cancer in the Twelfth House, the energies could have us feeling like enough is enough. For example, people with addictions issues might enter rehabilitation centers because they truly want to get well again and regain control of their lives. I can see Jupiter is in trine with Saturn in Pisces in the Eighth House. That could indicate surgeries or hospital visits for people who’ve been dealing with pain and other health issues for a very long time.

Also, because the Eight House rules birth and the Twelfth House rules hospitals, women who are pregnant and due to have children might be making a visit to the hospital sooner than expected.

With Jupiter in Cancer, we might feel overly protective of what’s ours, almost to the point that we need to back off a little bit. There’s nothing wrong with protecting and defending what’s yours, but you must be the judge at this time because you don’t want to be too much. When I say too much, I mean preventing growth and smothering something that needs to breathe.

Before, we talked a little about karma and the law of cause and effect. If you’re receiving your due at this time, whether it’s bad or good, whether you’re rewarded or robbed, make sure you take time think about why things are occurring, and what lessons the universe is trying to teach you because new opportunities are right around the corner. Especially, with the new moon coming up on the 20^th.

Alright everyone, have a wonderful weekend!

Moon Scope; It’s a Full Moon in the Sign of Dependability

Written today, November 3, 2025, for the November 5th Full Moon

Good morning, beloved. Thank you for visiting! This evening or late this afternoon at approximately 4:18 P.M., we have a full moon in the astrological sign, Taurus. This is the culmination phase of our current lunar cycle that actually began on October 21^st when the Moon was new in Scorpio.

If you look at the chart to the right (Thank you Astro.Com), you’ll see the Moon lighting up the First House on the 18^th degree of Taurus.

The energy of this full Moon will cause us to refocus our attention on First House matters, which are ultimately about the self.

Take a good long look into the mirror baby!

Now, because Taurus is involved, some of us might be in contemplation mode, mulling our current situations in terms of personal possessions. Can you see how that works? The First House tells us this energy is going to be about the self, but the sign gives us a little bit more in terms of specifics.

So, some of us might be looking for ways to earn more money, and that includes the acquisition of licenses or certifications that would qualify us to make or earn more money.

This energy could also manifest in a different direction and not be so much about making money, but rather us looking at the money or possessions we already have. Maybe, at the time of this full moon, we’re realizing that we need to manage our finances better.

Having said that, it would be a great time to invest in yourself. You could be looking at what’s hanging in your closet right now and saying to yourself, “Wow, I need to buy some new clothes.”

Taurus is an earth sign that’s ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty. Earth signs are extremely sensual and driven by what appeals to the senses. We might feel an urge now to fill our living space with things that create a feeling of warmth, comfort, and love.

Okay, now we need to get down to what’s really going on. The Moon in the First House is opposite the Sun in the Seventh House. Some of us could be having problems with other people right now. The Seventh House deals with relationships of all kinds. This could manifest as a problem between two people within a marriage, or a problem between friends. This could also play out as some kind of contract dispute in which someone isn’t holding up their end of an agreement.

This is the point where we must go back to the beginning of this article, and once again, take a good long look in the mirror baby. Ya know, it’s so easy to point the finger and blame the other for why the marriage failed or why the relationship ended, but there’s no growth in that. There’s no evolution, and there’s no maturation in that either.

We can’t turn squares into trines or oppositions into trines if we’re incapable of taking responsibility for own actions or admitting when we’re wrong. Taurus is a fixed sign, so I ask you, were you inflexible? Unwilling to change? Were you so darn selfish and headstrong that you refused to budge, give an inch, or accommodate?

Taurus is the sign of dependability, and at the end of the day, I can’t help but think that somehow or someway, dependability was an issue. When people are counting on us to show up, we have to show up.

Friends and family members might be counting on us to be there to express love and to show support.

The contract might require you to be at a certain place five days per week. Dependability. Are you dependable?

A Deeper Look

A deeper look into this chart reveals that at the time of this full moon, some of us could be having a real problem with an authority figure. This could be your father, but because the Seventh House is involved, it could be a husband or maybe even a boss at work. Honestly, this might not even be your fault. This person, for whatever reason, seems hell bent on making your life difficult and they just happen to be in a position to do so.

This would be someone who’s preventing you from marrying the person you love. This could also be, because of Scorpio, someone who’s lying, spreading rumors, or being manipulative in some way. What they’re actually doing is making it impossible for you to move forward in a relationship and/or in business. They’ve become the wall you can’t run through, run around, or jump over, and this is the point in the opposition that requires us to make a choice between two things.

I also see something unexpected happening that will require our attention, and it involves a sibling or a distant relative like an aunt, an uncle, or a cousin.

Conclusion

The full moon is a time of culmination. It’s a time of revelation, and it’s a time when the way forward becomes clear. At the time of the full moon, things that were confusing two weeks ago suddenly make sense, so even though things may seem to be harder, they’re really not. It’s just the overload of new information, and sometimes when you have too many options, deciding on just one is difficult.

Successful navigation through the energies of this full moon might require us to embody the traits and characteristics of the Bull, Taurus. Start with being quiet and dependable instead of boastful and inconsistent. Instead of talking about all the good things you’re going to do, just do them. The Universe favors actions over words. I would rather have a partner that’s prepared and shows up every day over someone who keeps making empty promises.

Like the Bull, there’s nothing wrong with being stubborn. The fixed quality of Taurus can actually be quite beneficial because it could manifest as tremendous focus and/or a personality type that refuses to give up, but like Kenny Rogers said, “You got to know to know when to hold em’, know when to fold em’, know when to walk away, and know when to run.”

Affection and patience win out now. Be grounded and be practical in your approach.

If you’re experiencing Seventh House issues right now, please understand that the root of those issues are complicated. Scorpio is an extremely passionate sign, and they don’t forget. They can be vengeful and wait years to retaliate for something you did a long time ago, and that’s another reason why it’s good to look in the mirror-maybe not literally, but if you’re having issues in a relationship now, perhaps you did something a while ago that was never forgotten.

Don’t worry, though, because the energy of this full moon will fill in the gaps, and by the time the new lunar cycle begins on the 20^th of November, all of our problems should be resolved. Just in time for Thanksgiving!

Alright everyone. Thank you for visiting.

Sun Opposite the Ascendent

October 31, 2025

This evening at 6:00 P.M. Eastern Time, the Sun in the Sixth House will oppose the Ascendent on the 12^th degree of Taurus. In astrology, when a planet opposes a specific point or another planetary body, it means they’re 180 degrees apart or opposite of one another.

This is the aspect we know as the opposition, and the opposition is a powerful aspect that can manifest in our lives in many different ways.

The Sun represents our will, our creativity, and our inner drive or desire to live and be a part of life. The Sun represents a large part of our personality, and it’s the force within us that gives rise to everything around us.

The 12th degree of Taurus appears to be about wishing for more. The Sabian Symbol depicts a couple window shopping and looking for things that give substance to their desire to be known. The placement of this Ascendent is super interesting considering tonight is Halloween, and many people are going to be out, dressed in costume, and going door to door for candy.

There’s something deeper going on here though, because weather you realized it or not, everything we wear, even the Halloween costumes we decide upon, is an expression of some part deep part of us that’s begging to be known.

Why, you ask? Well, the 12th degree of Taurus happens to fall under the rulership of the Constellation, Eridanus. Eridanus was put in the heavens to commemorate Italy’s River Po-the winding current symbolizing justice. So, in a sense, this is really about justice.

In Scorpio on the 8th degree in the Sixth House, the Sun sits in opposition to the 12th degree of Taurus, and this could play out in such a way that we find ourselves in a stressful situation needing to make a choice, which almost always results in letting go of something.

The process of healing begins immediately once we become aware of something, and these deep-dark parts of our soul and our being that come to light through our personal desire to wish for more, move from the depths of the subconscious mind into the everyday awakened mind. This is a very Sixth House thing, and that’s exactly where the Sun is.

It’s not a secret anymore that we lived many lives before this current incarnation, but the Sun encourages us to not get too carried away with who we once were. Bringing your awareness to a part of your being that’s begging to be healed in name of justice is necessary, but remember, there’s no moment in time that’s more important than the current one.

Today, this evening, on this Halloween, you might suddenly become aware that you were once the ruler of nation, a mercenary hired to kill, or someone who was burned at the stake. You’ll become aware of it, and then the healing process will begin. Enjoy it, talk about it, and then let it go.

Happy Halloween

October 31, 2025

Good morning, and happy Halloween! I hope everyone’s day is safe and filled with fun, laughter, and lots of candy.

Yes, it’s true, Halloween is the main attraction right now, but some other stuff is going on as well. In keeping the Sabbat holy, many people recognize October 31^st as the celebration day for Samhain. In Witchcraft and in ancient Pagan traditions, Samhain was seen as the beginning of a transitional time between death and rebirth. As the God departs and the Goddess mourns, both know he’ll be reborn at the winter solstice, or Yule.

This celebration was actually adopted by the Catholic Church, and Catholicism celebrates it with an All Hallows Eve Mass and also by recognizing the following day as All Saints Day or All Souls Day.

Now, the timing of the celebration of Samhain is incredibly important because according to Sidereal Astrology, which tracks the Sun’s actual movement through thirteen Constellations, October 31^st is the very first day of our Sun’s transit through Libra. I mean, wow, right? The last day of Virgo is on October 30^th, and then Libra begins on the 31^st.

It’s definitely a transitional time all the way around, and I wouldn’t be surprised if in some traditions, people actually recognized October 31^st as the end of summer and the first day of fall (Since we are leaving Virgo and entering Libra).

Whatever you celebrate and however you celebrate it, I do hope that everyone is enjoying this time.

I went for a walk on Wednesday, and I took this picture of the street. Lol, of course I’ve seen leaves before, but on this morning as I was turning the corner, the first thing I noticed was that the street had been entirely covered by leaves. It was such a beautiful, colorful, and vibrant display that captured the essence of the season.

I felt like a kid again, and I wanted to go running through the leaves, but my back was hurting too much.

Lol, the mind said go, but the body said no!

Alright, everyone, have a wonderful day!

This Evening’s Astrology

October 29, 2025

A lot of people have different opinions about this time of year. Some are good, and some, well, lol, they’re not so good, but I believe personally that this is an extremely sacred time where the veils between the spiritual and the physical are almost nonexistent.

Astrologically speaking, the Sun is currently on the sixth degree of Scorpio, and the Moon is in Aquarius on the tenth degree.

This evening, the Moon is 54% illuminated and transitioning from first quarter to waxing gibbous. The Moon culminates on the 5^th of November in the astrological sign, Taurus.

Neptune, the God of the Spirituality and Ruler of the Seas, is on the 29^th degree of Pisces and moving retrograde. I know a lot of people are anticipating Neptune’s entry into Aries, and we’ve all been waiting for quite some time, but Neptune is going to take a step backwards and clear some things up in Pisces (the sign it rules) before going direct.

Uranus is doing the same thing. Uranus, the God of Awakening, will loop back into Taurus before going direct and moving into Gemini.

I missed a lot of astrology over the past six weeks, but with the Moon’s North Node in Pisces right now, spirituality and personal belief mark a beacon for humanity. So, we’re not totally lost.

Take notice how we’re hearing more and more about UFO’s, aliens, and strange space objects. All of that stuff falls under the rulership of Neptune, Pisces, and the Twelfth House.

They key with Neptune, especially as it’s entering a fire sign like Aries, is to protect yourself from deception because the lines between real and fake can become blurred rather quickly.

American Dad; The Clearview

October 29, 2025

I’ve been a fan of American Dad since 2010, and I would say probably within the last year or so, I’ve been purchasing episodes right off of YouTube for $1.99. If you like the show, it’s not a bad deal.

Anyway, I just watched Episode 13 from Season 19, Clearview Motel, and I have to say, this episode definitely ranks up there with some of my all-time favorites. I would describe it as eerie, dark, and intriguing. It definitely gets the wheels turning.

Francine is the star of this episode, and in the beginning, she’s sitting at the dinner table eating with her family, and of course, Roger, and she begins to ask everyone about how their day went, and if they had anything new going on in their lives.

This dinner scene sets the stage and is really the reason why Francine gets caught up in what transpired at the Clearview, but it’s all the little details and information along the way that make this episode super interesting.

From the very start, forty seconds in, Francine makes it clear that there’s the family, and then there’s the core family, which nonchalantly hints at a smaller and more exclusive group within the group.

This is reminiscent of secret societies.

Francine then heads over to Al Tuttles house and kicks his bathroom door open while he’s sitting on the toilet, and again, she wants to know.

“What’s going on Tuttle? More, go deep with me Al,” she said.

During her dialogue with Al Tuttle, Francine finds out that Al’s sister, Della, had died. The word/name Della means “noble” and has its roots in both German and Italian language.

Now, we have Della which means noble, and the hint of secret societies.

The number 69 is mentioned in four different contexts. Route 69 and State or Local Road 69 are the two roads Roger talks about traveling on, but Roger also mentions that his car is a 69 Labaron. 69 is then brought to our attention a fourth time in reference to the sexual position, “69.”

Later in the episode, Francine and Roger end up at The Clearview Motel, and there’s an owl on the roof of the motel. Roger and Francine check into room number five and the wallpaper in the room has owls all over it.

Do you see where this is going? Noble families, secret societies, the number 69, owls, and then, Roger and Francine start peeping, or spying on other people and families staying at the motel.

This is crazy, and what ends up happening is that because of Francine’s desire to know other people’s business, she gets possessed. She becomes a possessed peeper or spy and eventually learns about why or how the Motel became the place that it has.

I’m going to leave it here because I don’t want to spoil the entire thing, but this episode involves black magic, a monolithic conspiracy, curses, and it’s just Twilight Zone strange.

Have a great day!

College Football 2025; Pick Results and Big Ten Roundup

October 26, 2025

Well, that time has arrived. For those of you who don’t know, I only cover the Big Ten College Football Conference for six weeks between the scheduled weeks of three and nine. This gives me time to catch up on the sport I love, while at the same time, it provides a little break from the astrological content I normally produce on here.

For me, these past six weeks have been enjoyable and fun, and I do hope all of my readers had a good time and were able to get into the spirit of college football (And maybe you won some money?). Before I move on totally and get back into my normal routine, I would like to conclude things properly by sharing our results and providing you with an up-to-date picture of where some teams in the Big Ten stand.

Six Week Totals

Picking Winners (Straight Up)

45-13

Picking Winners (Versus the Point Spread)

29-22-2

As you can see, once again, we came out on the winning side of things. That’s 45 wins and 13 loses picking winners, and 29 wins, 22 loses, and 2 pushes picking winners against the point spread. Straight up, we had a winning percentage of 77, and against the point spread, it was 54%. I think that’s pretty darn good over a period of six weeks.

Big Ten

Wow, so what’s going on in the Big Ten? Well, if you’re going by overall record, Ohio State, Indiana, and Oregon are the top three teams, but only Indiana and Ohio State are still undefeated in conference play. Oregon, Iowa, Michigan, and USC all have one loss.

Penn State, Michigan State, Purdue, and Wisconsin haven’t won a game yet against Big Ten opponents, so it’s safe to say that they’re out of the mix, and you can add Rutgers and Maryland to that list for sure.

There are eighteen teams in the Big Ten Conference, and right now today, Indiana, Ohio State, Oregon, Iowa, Michigan, and USC are the top six teams. That’s the top 1/3 of the conference.

Indiana is for real. They’re 8-0 overall, and they’re 5-0 in the conference. They have four games left, and they play Maryland, Penn State, Wisconsin, and Purdue. Those are four of the worst teams in the Big Ten, so as it appears, the Hoosiers should finish this season with a perfect 12-0 record and maybe #2 nationally.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are without a doubt, the best football team in all of college football. They’re head and shoulders above the rest, and I’m not just saying that because I’m a Buckeye fan. Ohio State is 7-0 overall, 4-0 in the conference, and they have five games left. It’s Penn State, Purdue, UCLA, Rutgers, and then their rivalry game against Michigan on the 29^th of November. Anything is possible here, and the Buckeyes are not totally out of the woods yet because a win against Michigan is never guaranteed.

Right now, heading into week ten at 7-1 overall and 4-1 in the conference, Oregon is clearly the third best team in the Big Ten, but things could change. The Ducks still have to play Iowa, Minnesota, USC, and Washington. I would be surprised if Oregon finishes this season with one loss. 10-2 or even 9-3 is a possibility.

Iowa is peaking at the perfect time, and they’re hot right now. They lost their second game of the season by three points to in-state rival, Iowa State, who at the time, was ranked nationally. Then, they lost to Indiana by five points. The Hawkeyes are 6-2 overall, 4-1 in the Big Ten, and they have four games left against Oregon, USC, Michigan State, and Nebraska. It’s not going to be an easy stretch, but if Iowa can beat Oregon at home this weekend, watch out!

The Wolverines are 6-2 overall and 4-1 in the conference. Their next three games are against Purdue, Northwestern, and Maryland. Northwestern is going to be a challenge, but the Wolverines should be 9-2 heading into their final game against the Buckeyes.

USC lost the last game they played; it was a 10-point loss to Notre Dame, and then they had a bye week. Currently, the Trojans are 5-2 and 3-1 in the Big Ten. Out of the five games left, four of them can present a legitimate problem for USC. Nebraska, Northwestern, Iowa, and Oregon are the next four, and then their final game is against UCLA. I don’t know, say the Trojans win three out of five? That’s an 8-4 season, but I’m thinking they’ll finish at 9-3.

Alright everyone! I had a lot of fun covering the Big Ten for six weeks, but it’s time for me to get back to astrology. Enjoy the rest of the 2025 college football season. Go Buckeyes!!

College Football Week 9; Big Ten Results

October 26, 2025

Friends, fans, and followers, good morning! Well, as far as shocks and surprises are concerned, week nine didn’t disappoint, that’s for sure. I felt Iowa had an advantage in this game, but a 41-3 victory was well beyond my expectations. Man, Iowa is playing good football right now.

I also thought Northwestern would overcome Nebraska, and I did not expect Washington to beat Illinois by seventeen points. All in all, at the end of the day, I guess you could say all of the big dogs kept their seat at the table. Washington, Indiana, Oregon, and Michigan won. Let’s take a look at the week nine scores below and see how we did with our picks.
