Just because Purdue is off this week doesn't mean there is no football. Oh no, sirs! Purdue is one of four Big Ten teams sitting at home this week, joining Michigan, Minnesota, and Iowa on the bench. If only we had bye week buddies around to see what shenanigans Jim Harbaugh, Kirk Ferentz, Jerry Kill, and Darrell Hazell could get into.

It seems odd having only one noon game, but here we are. The loser of this one is pretty much left for dead in the B1G West and will try to avoid finishing behind Illinois and Purdue.
