During Week 9 action, 10 Big Ten teams are playing. Indiana, Purdue, Wisconsin and Maryland are on a bye.
Of the five games, one will match two ranked teams against one another. No. 2 Ohio State will travel to Happy Valley to take on the No. 13 Penn State Nittany Lions. Penn State has one loss and is hoping to spoil the Buckeyes’ perfect season on Saturday at noon, EDT.
There are three afternoon games on Saturday. But the most intriguing may be Illinois traveling to Lincoln to take on Nebraska. This feels like a potential trap game for Illinois. The No. 1 scoring defense will have arguably its biggest challenge against a Nebraska offense that can move the ball.
The night game nationally televised on ABC will feature Michigan State vs. Michigan. Jim Harbaugh is 0-2 against Mel Tucker, but the Wolverines are rolling while the Spartans are 3-4.
