Both No. 4 Notre Dame Fighting Irish and No. 24 Northwestern Wildcats play important road games, and the Big Ten has multiple important divisional games.
Every game should feel important to the undefeated Fighting Irish, who travel to Alumni Stadium to square off against the Boston College Eagles. Although Boston College appears overmatched, Notre Dame is unlikely to take any games as guarantees after last week's home scare against the Pittsburgh Panthers. The Irish kick off at 7 p.m. CT, and ABC will televise the game.
Northwestern faces the Legends Division rival Michigan Wolverines, who currently sit one game ahead of the Wildcats in the division standings. Picking a victory in Ann Arbor gives Northwestern a real shot at winning the Legends Division, while a loss makes a division title nearly impossible. Northwestern kicks off early, 11 a.m. CT on ESPN.
