Saturday October 21st: Michigan @ Penn State

This one does not really require a long explanation. The winner of this game gains a valuable edge in the race towards the Big Ten Title game. By this point in the season Michigan should have broken in its new players on defense so the inexperience won’t be as big a liability. The winner here along with the Buckeyes will be the favorite to be crowned Big Ten champion.
