Things to watch this week in the Big Ten Conference:

Game of the week

No. 4 Alabama (2-0) at Wisconsin (2-0), Saturday, noon ET (Fox)

The Badgers are hosting an SEC opponent for the first time since 1971 (LSU) and trying to beat its highest-ranked nonconference opponent since upsetting No. 4 Nebraska, then in the Big Eight, in Madison 50 years ago. They enter as 16 1/2-point underdogs, according to BetMGM Sportsbook, and an upset would be the Big Ten's highest-ranked, regular-season victory ever over an SEC team.

Wisconsin hopes to capitalize on Alabama's offensive line struggles.
