5. No. 23 Northwestern vs. Purdue

This game would not be on this list in normal weeks, but this week has been anything but normal.

As crazy as it sounds, these two undefeated teams will play on Saturday and the winner could be considered the favorite in the Big Ten West.

Northwestern is playing great defense so far this season, but they will be going up against a Boilermakers offense that is one of the conferences best. It is unclear if star wide receiver Rondale Moore will suit up for the Boilermakers, but this offense has been just fine without him so far.

The Northwestern offense looked great in their win over Maryland in their first game, but has struggled against Iowa and Nebraska in recent weeks.

The winner has a shot at an undefeated season, however unlikely it is, and the playoff.
