Week 13 Big Ten preview

Rutgers at Ohio State (noon, FOX): Ohio State rolls into the final home game of the regular season at 10-0 and firmly atop the AP Top 25/CFP rankings, with one more tune-up before The Game against Michigan. Rutgers sits at 5-5 and 2-5 in the Big Ten, needing an upset in Columbus or a win over Maryland next week to secure bowl eligibility.

Minnesota at Northwestern (noon, BTN): The Wildcats get another home date at Wrigley Field, while the Gophers look to rebound from a 42-13 loss at Oregon.

USC at Oregon (3:30 p.m., CBS/Paramount+): This is the Big Ten's showcase game and one of the biggest national matchups of Week 13. With Ohio State and Indiana in command of the Big Ten's title-game spots, this could effectively decide the conference's third playoff ticket.

Michigan State at Iowa (3:30 p.m., FS1): Iowa returns to Kinnick Stadium after back-to-back losses to Oregon and USC. Michigan State, 3-7, is in full spoiler mode after a 28-10 loss at Penn State and now faces one of the Big Ten's most physical defenses on the road.

Michigan at Maryland (4 p.m., BTN): Michigan survived Northwestern in Week 12 and has this final road test before Ohio State comes to Ann Arbor. Maryland has tumbled to 4-6 and 1-6 in the Big Ten. The Terps have to beat both Michigan and Michigan State to reach a bowl game.

Nebraska at Penn State (7 p.m., NBC/Peacock): Nebraska has had a good season, sitting at 7-3 and 4-3 in conference play under Matt Rhule. Penn State, 4-6, now welcomes the Huskers for Senior Day in a prime-time NBC window.

Illinois at Wisconsin (7:30 p.m., BTN): Illinois improved to 7-3 behind a balanced offense and a defense that has carried Bret Bielema's team back into the fringe Top 25 conversation. Wisconsin, 3-7, has struggled this year now faces a physical Illini front in Madison under the lights.

Washington at UCLA (10:30 p.m., NBC/Peacock): Washington comes in at 7-3 overall and 4-3 in Big Ten play after a 49-13 rout of Purdue. UCLA, 3-7, has been overmatched this year and now faces a Washington offense that just scored six touchdowns at home.
