Penn State looked pretty good, but do they have a shot of overcoming a very tough Alabama defense at home? It's a long-shot but State College would be rocking if they do. Reason to watch: heck, it's #2 ranked Alabama against a Top 25 Penn State team and JoPa for crying out loud.
The Michigan versus Notre Dame rivalry has lost some of its luster but we'll get an opportunity to see if Norte Dame can rebound from another disappointing loss and if Michigan can play a 4-quarter game and show improvement over last season. Reason to watch: heck, it's the two winningest football programs in college football history and the first night game at the Big House being played in fron of 113,000 people for crying out loud.
Wisconsin, Ohio State and Nebraska should all roll. I'm most interested in seeing how Michigan State plays their 2nd game...should be an indicator if they are going to compete for a Big Ten championship - didn't look like it the other day.
