This week there are only six games as opposed to seven. Illinois and Maryland both have the week off. We have a couple of rivalry games in the Paul Bunyan Trophy between Michigan and Michigan State as well as the Broken Bits of Chair Trophy between Minnesota and Nebraska. Even the early game slate is light with just two games at noon.
Iowa (6-0, 2-0) at Northwestern (5-1, 1-1) Noon, ABC/ESPN2
This is a battle for B1G West supremacy! A win by Iowa puts them firmly in control for Indianapolis, as they would already have victories over contenders Northwestern and Wisconsin, plus a nice win over Illinois.
