Big Ten football Week 11 television schedule, key facts
Here we are at week 11 of the college football season and although the Ohio State Buckeyes are right in the thick of the College Football Playoff race, they have not looked very impressive the last couple of weeks. Ohio State was in a dog fight with the Nebraska Cornhuskers last week and was only able to come away with a 26-17 win.
Overall it was a rough week for the tough guys of the Big Ten as the Minnesota Golden Gophers lost to an underwhelming Illinois Fighting Illini team, the Michigan State Spartans were the next victim of the Purdue Boilermakers, and the Iowa Hawkeyes were too close to comfort against the Northwestern Wildcats.
Now that we have recapped week ten let’s dive into week 11!
