2019-2020 season best five games in the Big Ten
1.Ohio State at. Michigan
“The Game” is always the biggest game in the Big Ten. Winner will most likely be in the thick of the playoff race yet again.
2.Michigan at. Penn State
This will prove if Michigan is for real and their biggest test before Ohio State.
3.Wisconsin at. Nebraska
The two most talented teams in the Big Ten west will fight it out for division supremacy.
4.Michigan State at. Michigan
Maybe behind Penn State, this is the Wolverines’s biggest test until thanksgiving weekend.
5.Michigan State at. Ohio State
Michigan State is and has been Ohio State’s biggest thorn in its side in the Urban Meyer era. No that Meyer is out of coaching, Ohio State fans should hope that Michigan State’s good play against the Buckeyes ends soon.
