Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

The games involving B1G teams, ranked by roughly what I *THINK* the competitiveness should be:

• Auburn @ Penn State, 7:30 PM on ABC:  Should be a good game, I think. 
• MSU @ Miami, FL, noon ABC:  I have no idea what to make of either team really so this will be interesting. 
• Minnesota @ Colorado, 1pm P12TV:  No idea on this one really either. 
• Northwestern @ Dook, 4pm ACCTV:  Should be a good game, I think. 
• Maryland @ Illinois, 9PM Friday on FS1:  Maryland has looked good so far, Illinois looked good two weeks ago and dreadful since. 
• Cincy @ Indiana, noon on ESPN:  I don't *THINK* Cincy is as good as advertised but we'll find out. 
• Purdue @ Notre Dame, 2:30 PM on NBC:  I'd love to see Purdue win but I just don't think they have enough.  Maybe . . .
• Nebraska @ Oklahoma, noon on FOX:  I just hope the Cornhuskers can keep it relatively close. 
• NIU @ Michigan, noon on BTN:  Michigan should win easily. 
• Kent @ Iowa, 3:30 PM on BTN:  Iowa should win easily. 
• Tulsa @ Ohio State, 3:30 PM on FS1:  I just can't see Tulsa making a game of this. 
• Delaware @ Rutgers, 3:30 PM on BTN:  Rutgers should roll. 

Wisconsin is taking the week off, apparently to prepare for the trip to Chicago to play Notre Dame. 

a) feel bad for Tulsa, OSU is going to take it out on them. 

b) calling for Purdue in the upset. ND looks very mortal.

c) Miami - MSU most toss-up game so far this season. Have no idea what to make of either team. Could see either team winning.

d) Auburn - PSU going to be an awesome game I think.

e) Nebraska is going to get beaten like a red headed step child. 

Familiarizing myself with the Oklahoma-Nebraska game a little...

• OU is 6-2 since 2000.
• This will be the first (and last?) game of the Big Ten vs Big 12 era (2011-?).
• In the Big 12 era (96-10) Oklahoma went 6-4 against Nebraska, including 2-0 in the CCG.
• In the Big 8 era (57-95) they played every year, with Oklahoma leading the series 22-18, including an Orange Bowl win (wtf?).
• In the Big 7 era (47-56) they played every year, with Oklahoma sweeping the Huskers 10-0.
• In the Big 6 era (28-46) they played every year, with Nebraska leading the series 11-6-2.
• In the Missouri Valley era (21-27) Nebraska led the series 4-1
• Before that they played twice, with Nebraska winning the one that they didn't tie.

N V OU happened in that Orange Bowl due to a combination of events in 1978 season.   Nebraska upsets #1OU in Lincoln, but then the next week vs Mizzou, #2 Nebraska is upset 35-31.  Missouri would not defeat Nebraska again until the 2003 season.  Independent undefeated Penn St. Goes to Sugar to play undefeated Bama.  Notre Dame goes to Cotton.  Orange Bowl selects OU as the best match-up.   #4 v #6.  Heisman winner Billy Sims does Billy Sims things in rematch.  31-24.

I believe that is the last non championship rematch of a regular season conference game to occur in a bowl game.   I think Nevada played CSU in a Arizona bowl but it wasn't a rematch.

Quite a few good games on tap, but correction, I  checked UNI's schedule. They are not playing Michigan. These games look like games I will want to check in on. I probably won't want to check too long on Neb.-Okla.

Auburn-Penn St.
Cincy-Indiana
Purdue-ND
Neb-Okla
Minn.-Colo.

He should have typed "NIU" and not "UNI."

Michigan is playing Northern Illinois University.

Edited, fixed.  Sorry for the confusion.  

Really looking forward to that Nebraska-OU game.

What time is kickoff again?

B1G Noon (EDT).
