Big Ten announces kickoff times, TV assignments for Week 11 slate

Michigan at Penn State — Noon ET | FOX
Maryland at Nebraska — Noon ET | Peacock
Indiana at Illinois — Noon ET | Big Ten Network
Minnesota at Purdue — 3:30 p.m. ET | NBC
Northwestern at Wisconsin — 3:30 p.m. ET | FS1
Rutgers at Iowa — 3:30 p.m. ET | Big Ten Network
Michigan State at Ohio State — 7:30 p.m. ET | NBC

The Michigan visit to State College certainly stands out as the obvious top game on this particular slate. With the Penn State-Ohio State game out of the way and the Ohio State-Michigan game on the way a couple of weeks later, the Nittany Lions have to win here to stay in contention for the Big Ten title game, since they already lost that game to the Buckeyes.

Meanwhile, the other side of the conference is fairly wide open. Iowa has a one-game lead over the three-way tie of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Nebraska in second place in the division. Among those clubs, the Hawkeyes have already beaten the Badgers but just lost to the Golden Gophers with a trip to Lincoln coming up in the final week of the season. Who knows, despite some obvious missteps from both clubs, that contest could be for all the marbles in the West.

Week 10 schedule

Before we get to Week 11, the Week 10 slate must be played first this coming weekend. Of course, the TV info and kick-off times for that slate was already announced. But in case you need a refresher or simply want to know when and what channel this weekend’s Nov. 4 Big Ten games will occur, take a look here:

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 a struggling Purdue team in primetime.

Ohio State at Rutgers is another interesting matchup, as the Scarlet Knights have been one of the more surprising teams in college football this year. At 6-2, Rutgers is already bowl eligible and is undefeated at home on the season. Greg Schiano‘s club also had a bye week to get ready for the Buckeyes.
