The Big Ten heads into week three of the college football season with plenty of great matchups in store for fans who are lucky enough to have gotten tickets. We list the top three Big Ten games coming up.
The Big Ten offers another great round of key matchups this weekend. Although it would have been nice if Ohio State and USC had been one-two at this point, a one-five matchup isn’t all that bad either. Needless to say, we listed the USC-Ohio State game as the best game to see in this conference in week three.
1. USC – Ohio State: Taking place at the Los Angeles Coliseum, the home of the Trojans, ought to give USC a little bit of an edge. However, the history between these two teams might could go either way All-time, USC has a 52-19-1 (73%) record versus teams in the Big Ten, meaning that historically, teams from the Midwest trying to get a win in L.A. usually come away with nothing of the sort. However, Ohio State has been dominating their games versus the Pac-10 lately. Since 1991, the Buckeyes are 11-2 versus the Pacific. http://Accuscore.com predicts that the Trojans are the heavy favorites in this game, by roughly 75%, although it should be noted that the Trojans have only played one game this season, a dominating win over Virginia. Will they come out rested and prepared, or lazy and dull?
2. Notre Dame – Michigan: Two of the biggest rivals in all of sports, not just college football- although in college football there are probably only a handful of other rivalries that cause more of a stir. Notre Dame and Michigan are set to do battle this Saturday, and you’d be wise to either get some Big Ten tickets to the game, or make sure your favorite couch is going to be unoccupied for the whole afternoon, because this one ought to be good. Both teams enter the game not looking entirely sharp. The Irish struggled for most of their first game versus SDSU before eventually looking Irish and gaining a win. Michigan lost their opener to Utah and then barely beat Ohio (not State). Even though Michigan and Notre Dame are the two winningest college football programs in history, one of them is going to lose this weekend. http://Accuscore.com is setting the Fighting Irish as the slight favorites, with a 56% chance of winning.
3: Wisconsin – Fresno State: This one is really a toss up for your average fan. We wish it were week four so we could select four games. On the one hand, you have two ranked, undefeated teams playing one another in Wisconsin (#10) vs. Fresno State (#21). You hardly ever get a WAC-Big Ten matchup of this caliber. On the other hand, you have a Hawkeye State rivalry when Iowa and Iowa State face one another, both of whom are undefeated. If you live in Iowa, you have your allegiance, but otherwise, we would suggest you either get tickets for or watch the Badgers-Bulldogs game this weekend.
