Wisconsin at Ohio State, 12 p.m. on FOX

The Badgers' stunning loss to Illinois last week means this is no longer a battle of undefeated teams but it could still end up being a preview of the Big Ten Championship Game.

Penn State at Michigan State, 3:30 p.m. on ABC

Oklahoma State at Iowa State, 3:30 p.m. on FS1

The Cyclones are trying to keep pace with Baylor and Oklahoma atop in the Big 12 race while the Cowboys still need to win two more games to become bowl eligible. But that doesn't mean that Oklahoma State can't give Iowa State a run for its money in Ames.

Auburn at LSU, 3:30 p.m. on CBS
