4. No. 8 Northwestern at Michigan State

Fresh off of their big win against Wisconsin, Northwestern hits the road and tries to keep their magical season alive in East Lansing vs. Michigan State.

This could be an upset trap for the Wildcats, who might still be riding high after defeating the Badgers and being ranked No. 8 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings.

Michigan State has been humbled in recent weeks after their rivalry win over Michigan, but the Spartans could be catching the Wildcats off guard and not taking them seriously.

The Northwestern offense needs to keep improving to make them a better all around team and that will be something to watch in this game and the rest of the season as the Wildcats head towards a matchup with Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game.
