It isn’t the flashiest week of Big Ten football games, but the marquee names are all suiting up once again after a bye week.
Finally, after being idle in Week 7, Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State will take the field once again, though Michigan State, Iowa, Rutgers, and Nebraska are all off in Week 8. There are five games, and though there are no ranked-on-ranked matchups — those come next week — there’s still a little intrigue.
The most enticing game is likely the Wisconsin at Purdue game given that the Badgers aren’t ranked after starting the season that way, while the Boilermakers check in at No. 25 after upsetting No. 2 Iowa last week. Penn State hosts Illinois, Michigan hosts Northwestern, Ohio State goes to Indiana, and Maryland goes to Minnesota.
Here is what we’re predicting for each matchup in Week 8.
