College football is only a couple days away, and that means it a great time for my game of the week.

If you’re a diehard college football fan and can only watch one game this week, make sure you watch Wisconsin travel down to Nebraska to play the Cornhuskers.

There a few games this week between ranked teams, but the game down in Lincoln might have the biggest implications for the Big Ten West all season.

A win for the Badgers would almost guarantee a spot in the title game, obviously discounting some tragic downfall for Wisconsin later in the year.

Alex Hornibrook has led Wisconsin’s offense from under center, running back Jonathan Taylor has been unstoppable and the Badgers defense looks incredible. All these point to dangerous signs for Nebraska.

However, don’t write off the Cornhuskers too soon. They will change the entire title race if they can find a way to win.

I expect the Badgers to win, but a shocking upset from Nebraska would result in massive shakeups throughout the world of college football.
