THE WEEK AHEAD
NO. 5 OHIO STATE AT WISCONSIN
2:30 p.m. Saturday
Because they cheated under former coach Jim Tressel, the Buckeyes can't play in the Big Ten Championship Game or in a bowl. But Ohio State's season-ending swing against the Badgers and Michigan will serve as a de facto bowl series. Win both, and the Buckeyes not only finish undefeated, they cast doubt on the résumés of these two rivals.
NORTHWESTERN AT MICHIGAN STATE
11 a.m. Saturday
This one's all about bowl positioning. The Spartans still need a victory to become eligible, while the Wildcats want to remove that bad taste from the late loss to Michigan.
SATURDAY'S OTHER GAMES
Indiana at Penn State, 11 a.m.
Iowa at Michigan, 11 a.m.
Purdue at Illinois, 2:30 p.m.
Gophers at No. 18 Nebraska, 2:30 p.m.
