In college football, the games of November are the games to remember, and that’s certainly the case this weekend. A top-five matchup between Ohio State and Penn State is the headliner, but don’t sleep on Wisconsin at Iowa or Indiana at Michigan State. (All games Saturday. The Gophers-Illinois prediction will run later this week).
No. 4 Ohio State at No. 3 Penn State, 11 a.m., FOX
• This is the game that the Nittany Lions have had circled all year. Penn State has lost seven in a row in the series, and the last time the Lions beat the Buckeyes, they won the Big Ten. There’s a wild card in this game, and that’s the health of Penn State QB Drew Allar. That creates enough doubt to pick the Buckeyes. Ohio State 24, Penn State 17
No. 1 Oregon at Michigan, 2:30 p.m., CBS
• The Ducks just beat Illinois 38-9, and the Illini handled Michigan 21-7. Even at the Big House, Oregon’s march toward the Big Ten Championship Game continues unabated. Oregon 31, Michigan 10
Wisconsin at Iowa, 6:30 p.m., NBC
No. 13 Indiana at Michigan State, 2:30 p.m., Peacock
