4. No. 10 Wisconsin at No. 19 Northwestern

The battle for the Big Ten West will come down to this game in Evanston.

The Badgers and the Wildcats will meet on Saturday with a lot on the line. The winner will remain undefeated and have the inside track to a perfect season and a chance to play in the Big Ten title game which could be for a trip to the playoff.

Wisconsin has only played twice against two very subpar teams, but they have looked really impressive in those victories against Illinois and Michigan. Northwestern has been the surprise team in the conference so far and has rode a great defense and an improved offense to a 4-0 start.

This game will test how good this Wildcats offense has gotten from last year, as Wisconsin has a very stingy defense and suffocated Michigan last Saturday.

Expect a low-scoring game with a lot on the line in the Big Ten.
