Wisconsin has yet to beat a team that is currently ranked and even though the Badgers are 8-0 and one of five undefeated teams left, it is behind six one-loss teams.

Tell me if you’ve heard this story before. The Ohio State Buckeyes looked lethargic for the first couple games of the season, but kicked it into overdrive once Big Ten play started. Ohio State shredded Rutgers, Maryland, and Nebraska in consecutive weeks outscoring those three teams by a combined score of 174-28 heading into last week’s game against undefeated Penn State. Although Ohio State had to come from behind in order to notch a one-point victory, it dominated the box score and would have covered the spread if not for a few fluky plays. The Buckeyes will take their show on the road this week when they face the frisky Iowa Hawkeyes.Watch this regular season Week 10 matchup live on Saturday, November 4, 2017, at 3:30 p.m. ET at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa.

This week’s game between the Clemson Tigers and the North Carolina State Wolfpack lost a little bit of luster after Notre Dame throttled NC State. The Irish were able to gash the vaunted Wolfpack defensive line on the ground and that effectively ended any chance that NC State had two make it to the playoff. However, the Wolfpack are still in the driver’s seat in the ACC Atlantic and have the chance to put a hammerlock on the division with a victory over the Tigers here. That would put them two games up on every other team in their division.Watch this regular season Week 10 matchup live on Saturday, November 4, 2017, at 3:30 p.m. ET at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Well, one domino might have fallen last week in the Big 10 Conference. Ohio State was trailing 35-20 heading to the fourth quarter against No. 2 ranked Penn State and then all hell broke loose. The Buckeyes outscored the Nittany Lions 19-3 in the fourth quarter to win the game 39-38 and now control their own destiny towards the Big Ten Championship game. It was a great game and probably the best game of the year so far, unless, you're a Lions fan.... 

The Texas Longhorns look very close to breaking through. After a brutal loss in their opener to Maryland, Tom Herman has made sure this team has been competitive in every other game so far this season.

This is the game that the LSU Tigers’ coaching staff has been waiting for all year. The inability of Les Miles to beat Alabama was one of the biggest reasons behind his eventual dismissal and Ed Orgeron put a plan in place to make sure that didn’t happen to him. Orgeron copied the blueprint laid out by Dabo Swinney at Clemson and kept defensive coordinator Dave Aranda on staff and brought in offensive guru Matt Canada to run the offense.... 

Typically, the Big Ten noon slot is a snoozer. The television networks decide to give us two of the more uninteresting games on the schedule and put the marquee game later on in the day. This week is an exception to that.... 

The Western Michigan Broncos keep finding ways to win games. Although they lost to Akron two weeks ago, this team is on the cusp of bowl eligibility in their first year without the fiery PJ Fleck.

The Nittany Lions are one of the few undefeated teams remaining in college football and if they remain that way after this matchup they will be on the short list of national championship favorites.

Even so, Notre Dame is ranked higher at No. 9 and has only lost one game itself. The Fighting Irish is the home team in this matchup and will be the favorite.

Everything looked so promising at one time for the San Diego State Aztecs. The Aztecs won six straight games to start the season and scored big wins against Arizona State and Stanford to shoot up the rankings and look like the mid-major to beat for a spot in a New Year’s Eve bowl. However, things have fallen apart in the last two weeks as the offense has struggled to score points against both Boise State and Fresno State in two double-digit losses. Now, the Aztecs must leave the mainland and head to the islands to take on the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors.This matchup in Week 9 of the regular season will take place on Saturday, October 28, 2017, at 11:15 p.m. ET at Aloha Stadium in Halawa, Hawaii This game will be broadcast on ESPN2.... 

The Wisconsin Badgers appear to be one of the best teams in the country. Wisconsin is one of a handful of undefeated teams left at this point of the season, thanks to a very underwhelming schedule. The Badgers toughest opponent all year may have been a decent Florida Atlantic team that is currently ripping through Conference USA. That easy slate will continue this week when they travel to take on the Illinois Fighting Illini. It’s hard to consider that any other Big Ten team is worse than Illinois after a home loss to Rutgers and Lovie Smith may be out of a job soon.... 

The Oklahoma State Cowboys know what they need to do to win football games. Oklahoma State is an offense first team that needs to score in order to feel confident about its chances for success in a game. The Cowboys have the best offense in the country and have won shootouts all throughout Mike Gundy’s tenure in Stillwater. This week, OSU will travel east to face a team that has given them trouble with their brand of football. The West Virginia Mountaineers have constantly reinvented themselves under coach Dana Holgorsen and have one of the best offenses in the country too....
