Big Ten announces kickoff times, TV assignments for Week 10 slate

The Big Ten has revealed the kickoff times and TV details for Week 10 of the college football season.

Two of the top teams in the league will face road tests on Nov. 4 as Ohio State travels to Rutgers and Penn State plays at Maryland.

Big Ten title contender Michigan is also in action and will host Purdue in primetime.

Here’s the full Big Ten slate for Week 10 of the college football season, with all games kicking off on Nov. 4:

Ohio State at Rutgers — Noon (CBS)
Nebraska at Michigan State — Noon (FS1)
Wisconsin at Indiana — Noon (Big Ten Network)
Penn State at Maryland — 3:30 p.m. (Fox Sports)
Iowa at Northwestern — 3:30 p.m. (Peacock)
Illinois at Minnesota — 3:30 p.m. (Big Ten Network)
Purdue at Michigan — 7:30 p.m. (NBC)

This slate has the potential to get interesting and impact the College Football Playoff race.

Starting with Ohio State at Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights have been one of the more surprising teams in college football this year.

Rutgers is already bowl eligible and is undefeated at home on the season. Greg Schiano‘s club also has a bye week to get ready for the Buckeyes.

The Penn State at Maryland game could also be competitive. The Terrapins are second in the Big Ten in scoring offense and played Ohio State tough in a Big Ten game earlier this season, before the Buckeyes pulled away late.

While those two games could be competitive, it’s hard to imagine Purdue putting up much of a fight against Michigan. The Wolverines are 8-0 and have won each game by at least 24 points.

The Boilermakers are 2-5 under first-year head coach Ryan Walters.

Before the Big Ten games on Nov. 4 take place, there are several big conference games this coming weekend.

This Saturday’s headliner matchup is Ohio State going on the road to face Wisconsin.

The Buckeyes are coming off of a huge win over Penn State and will look to avoid a letdown when they face the Badgers.

It has been an up-and-down season for first-year Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell. The Badgers are 5-2 (3-1) after earning a 25-21 win at Illinois this past weekend.

Other Big Ten games scheduled for this coming Saturday include Indiana at Penn State, Maryland at Northwestern, Michigan State at Minnesota and Purdue at Nebraska. The Big Ten race will be fun to follow down the stretch as there is still a lot of football left to be played.
