College football schedule today: TV coverage, channels, scores for Week 7 Big Ten games

Much of the college football world will be fixated Saturday on a game between two future Big Ten schools, Oregon and Washington, as the two top-10 squads face off in Seattle in a matchup with significant College Football Playoff implications.

But while the No. 8 Ducks and No. 6 Huskies don’t join the Big Ten until next year, the conference’s current members have some interesting contests this weekend.

Headlining the six-game conference slate is Iowa’s game at Wisconsin in a matchup of teams with a combined 9-2 record. The Badgers (4-1, 2-0 Big Ten) are atop the Big Ten West division, with the Hawkeyes (5-1, 2-1) a half-game behind. Given the struggles of the other five teams in the division, none of which are better than 1-2 in conference play, it’s quite possible the winner between Wisconsin and Iowa will make the Big Ten championship. Saturday's game will feature two top-30 scoring defenses and pit Iowa quarterback Deacon Hill against his former team. Hill was at Wisconsin from 2021-22 before entering the transfer portal last October.

The league’s two highest-ranked teams, No. 2 Michigan (6-0, 3-0) and No. 3 Ohio State (5-0, 2-0), will face off against Indiana (2-3, 0-2) and Purdue (2-4, 1-2), respectively. The host Wolverines are a 33.5-point favorite against the Hoosiers while the Buckeyes will hit the road as a 19.5-point favorite against the Boilermakers.

Elsewhere, No. 5 Penn State (5-0, 3-0) will wrap up its non-conference schedule with a game against UMass, Michigan State (2-3, 0-2) will look to snap its three-game losing streak when it visits Rutgers (4-2, 1-2) and Maryland (5-1, 2-1) will aim to rebound from its loss last week at Ohio State with a game against Illinois (2-4, 0-3). A win vs. the Illini would make the Terrapins bowl eligible.
