Want an encore from Ohio State-Michigan State? Try the game that will likely determine the champion of the other Big Ten division.

As we put together our Big Ten predictions for this week, the Wisconsin Badgers and Nebraska Cornhuskers are going to meet to likely determine the Big Ten West, and in very similar fashion to Ohio State-Michigan State, it also has national championship implications. Well, it has that for Nebraska anyway.

But there are quite a few other Big Ten games worth watching as well.

Ohio State at Minnesota might be a little bit more interesting than you would think, especially with the game being in Minnesota. And the same thing could be true for Michigan State at Maryland.

After a boring October, the Big Ten seems destined to bless us with a great November.

Temple-Penn State is also an in-state game between two teams trying to get bowl eligible, so this non-conference game is going to be interesting as well. And Notre Dame comes back in with a match-up against Northwestern.

This weekend, the Big Ten games could determine the winner of the Big Ten West, which teams remain in the national championship race, which teams belong in the Top 25, and have two more teams in the conference clinch bowl eligibility.

Now that’s worth watching. But before you tune in, take a look at our Vegas Big Ten Predictions for Week 12 of the college football season.
